I get water spots on all the glass too man, is it a PITA to try to get out i tell ya that!

To clean stubborn stains I use a solution of Meguiar's car wash and water and I rub it gently with a mmicrofiber cloth. I follow up with a water damped cloth to remove the solution. Finally I use Eagle One Nano-protectant (or your favorite). It gently removes the stains that the cleaning wipes cannot remove and it's a lot cheaper too.
I have not found a way to remove scratches.

one question... how in the world did you get wax on your dashboard and door panels? are you waxing the inside? lol

anyways... theres back to black by mothers if its on your blkac trim pieces
for protection, i use meguiars NXT interior protect. i think i've recommended this item like 15+ times on this forum lol.
you put it on and it looks like new, and when you get scuffs... you apply it again and it just rubs off like magic. woot.

Everytime i used NXT on the interier, i get static on the panels. Is that okay? It's the kind of static that attracts stuff, not repel

i know what your talking about. wipe your dash down with a damp paper towel and let that dry... are you by any chance using a cottom towel to wipe your dash down with NXT? i find that it generates a ton of static also, i switched to 100% terry cloth towels after the wipe down and it worked great.

all in all though, the static never bothered me... if you keep wiping, the static goes away.

Use a damp papertowl AFTER or BEFORE using the NXT?

I use a microfiber towel to apply the NXT. I doubt its Cotton. It's the cheap kind from target.

I find that i have to just touch the panels in different area to relieve the static.

Ever waxed you car with the windows down so you can listen to music while you work? I pulled the same thing, got wax on the door panal. Paper towels with a little bit of windex, or 409 or almost any household cleaner will get it off.

i got wax on my black front license plate holder and windex doesnt get it off. So i tried NXT Tech and it worked

I use a 50-50 mix of alcohol and water to clean the white spots off the interior door panels and plastic parts. Works Great!

before. that way its like a prepping step for the NXT. although, if you just have to touch the panels and you find thats easier stick with that. i just like to clean the area of dust before NXT goes on so i got a nice clean shiny dash instead of some dust still sitting in it.

speaking of listening to music from the car... i've always wanted to but never have because i'm scared of draining the battery. in my previous car, i listened to the radio with the car off for like half an hour and it died, had to get it jump started again... so that scares me from doing it ever again. of course the difference is a 1990 model and a 2006 model... but STILL SCARED.
