Definitely going to look into an orbital polisher...I've been meaning to get one for a while. Before using it I need to research all the different pads and the correct usage for each. Need to find an "Orbital Polishing for Dummies"!
I do have on hand a little kit from Meguirer's I believe it...
Sounds like you did a very thorough job...congratulations! You should be good for another 6-12 months right?
I really, really, REALLY need to do something like this on our Touring. We've only had it for two months and there was a very stubborn, sticky, and darkish film on every surface that...
Man! I love the way those floor liners cover the dead pedal and extend deeply behind the pedals! I wish I would know about these before I sprung for the factory all-weather mats!

Excellent information in this thread...THANK YOU!
We took delivery on our Touring last month and it is running the .100 firmware. I may want to upgrade to the latest .335!
You're very welcome! It's nice that you have someone over here that can help you out if need be!
Man...you sure picked a beautiful part of the globe to immigrate to...good call! I'd definitely like to visit Scandinavia someday!
