Clean door panel on my CX7

[olegna105]

I bought an 08 CX7 AWD GT and have been having an issue keeping the doors clean. When I wipe it down with water and a rag it keeps coming back. Does anyone have an ideas on how to maintain the interior?

What color? I use Armorall, and I keep a dust mitt handy Black interior here.

303 Protectant is the best in my opinion.

noooooooooooooo

dont use armorall.

petroleum based products leave a greasy residue, and that leaves a film all over your windows. i use meguiars quick interior detailer for interior panels.

Last time I checked, Armorall is silicon-based not petroleum. Did they change the formulation?

Not all armorall products are the same, I use this

Or the original wipes when I need that extra shine.

The texture on the upper part of the inside of the door (where your left arm may rest) is like a cheese grater for your skin. I kept leaving my epidermis on the door on my Mazda3 until I discovered Lexol Vinylex. It sort of seals the rough surface and gives it a nice low sheen. I started to notice the same thing on my CX-7 after a week of driving and whipped out the Vinylex. The skin cheese is gone! It's good for about a month before you need to re-apply.
