Is there any product that replicates the sheen of furniture polish for the dash plastic wood? Looking for something to give it more shine.
Thanks,
Peter

Re: Cleaning Mark IV fake wood
The "fake wood" is vinyl.
ON all plastic, vinyl and rubber I use a Meguiars spray product.
A leather conditioner. It cleans just a little. But it is the conditioning part that is good.
Adds back some moisture to dried out plastic and vinyl.
Creates a shine as well. Just not a glossy shine. More of a semi-gloss.
And it is cheap (under ten bucks) and available on the net or even Walmart.
I go through a bottle in about 6 to 9 months. With the dryness in Phoenix and the number of vehicles I use it on weather strips, seat covers, instrument panel pads, door panels and anything interior or exterior that is rubber, vinyl, plastic or leather.

I find Meguiars #40 great for any plastic. It will NOT leave an oily film and cleans to a decent shine.
It’s not harsh on your skin and has a pleasant smell. I used it to clean those black plastic harness clips on my 66, although the worst one’s I literally sandblasted, then sprayed with adhesion promoter and gloss black paint.

If you go to a show, spray it with WD 40 and rub it in. When you get back, use one of the products above. Wayne
