mattchrome interior trim...

[Cavalier2123]

I just installed my mattchrome a few weeks ago, and right off the bat it was covered in dark fingerprints and streaks. I was thinking of taking it all off and treating it like the outside of my car - wash and a few coats of wax. Any ideas?

matteChrome is VERy hard to clean and keep clean. Wax will def help, but doesnt last. I sometimes use a very small amount of windex to clean it.

the matte chrome looks good.
As far as keeping the fingerprints, etc from showing up, I just wipe down my interior/exterior 6-7 days a week with a clean cloth and a small spray bottle that I keep handy at all times.

No other way around that. I do the same with my rims for the brake dust.

You might try waxing it. I've read that some guys wax their rims and the dust comes off much easier.

[Cavalier2123]

I'm going to try that next week and will post the results...

You might want to try a non-carnuba wax. That way you can put on multiple coats to see if helps with the build up.
