BEFORE you touch it...
REMOVE all the dust, sand, dirt and other<br> residues, possibly with vacuum cleaner<br> or something. Using any cleaning agent on the<br> dirty surface will undoubtfuly lead to damaged<br> surface. It is covered with clear coat, similar<br> to those seen on car paints. Been there in<br> my previous two MBs and cleaning wood (especially<br> around shift lever) is always disaster. That's<br> why i'm going to replace all the wood parts<br> with 'Alu-Quadra look' from Avantgarde or C32<br> version.
