Shammy - also known as chamois? ;<)))
Either way, I used to have coupla large ones that worked nicely for wiping
the car down after washing to prevent water spotting.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Detailing interior
The interior on my 300E is quite light, so it shows dirt and marks easily.
The car was always well kept, but when I first got it, I gave it a good
going over all the same. It was a non smoker car, so nothing too bad to
deal with. I'm sure it was the type of car that was through the car wash
once or twice a week, and a vacuuming to go along with it. Anyway, I used
water and a mild soap, along with one of those surgical scrub up brushes.
Very fine plastic bristles. I would lightly do a section, then towel is
off with paper towel. Even though the car looks quite clean when I
started, it was amazing to see just how much dirt still came off. I did
all the plastic bits, and MBtex the same way. I then treated the dash and
other similar parts with plain old Armorall. I spray the Armorall onto
various size sponges, and then apply that way, I never spray it directly
onto any surface, other than tire sidewalls. The wood is treated with a
Johnson's hard wax paste. Allow to dry, and buff with a soft cloth.
Pledge for touch-ups. One thing I never use, is Windex on the glass.
Might just be me, but I always have bad luck with it. I find it very
streaky. I just use a shammy (sp) with warm water, on both the interior
and exterior sides of the glass. Find it works well, but if the glass was
dirty, I would first use some soap based cleaner on the exterior. If you
smoke, Windex or some other ammonia type thing might work, to help cut the
tar first.

Now that the outside of the '83 240D is waxed, (already had a compliment
on it), the inside is next. All suggestions appreciated; especially
about
preservatives for the plastic parts. Thanks,
Gerry
