Piano Black center console cleaning and protection treatment

[Seth2020]

I know many folks like to wrap their center console. I may wrap mine someday after I get tired of its current look, but for now I like it.

I has read in several forums that Duragloss 951 Automotive Aquawax is a good product for the exterior paint after a wash -- and it is! But I decided to try it on a few other surfaces. I tried it on the Aluminum header that runs across the dash (on M3s with white interiors) and while it felt smoother, I could not see a difference. Then I tried it on the piano black center console and WOW, it really works wonders.

Time will tell if it helps with the fingerprint problem that many folks are frustrated by.

Interesting... This product seems unavailable in Canada through Amazon at the moment. Has the Trumper hijacked this too?

I also like the look of the piano black so I had it wrapped with clear Expel. This stuff works well. I had one shop blow dry it to remove the scuff marks and it looks like new. I had mine installed in 2018 and it still looks good.

Ooooh why didn’t I think of that... I’ve got a spare strip of clear film left over...

I had to remove some vinyl gunk and rubbing alcohol made it look like new with little effort. I personally use the cheap vinyl stickers. My current setup.

If you want to keep piano black looking brand new the best bet is self-healing PPF such as Xpel or STEK. Keep the look - protect the finish.
