I have been struggling to find time to detail the car, so decided to do it in parts. During one wash decided to clean the door jams, polish and coat it for easier washing. I didn't take any photos other than the below. I know many might not like the idea, but I also choose to fit th xpel door guard kit. It was an easy enough process and I don't have to worry too much about any paint chips on the edge of the doors.

I can't remember if I had posted this already and my timeline of how things progressed on the car is a bit foggy. At some point I decided to clean the mperfomance rear box since I noticed how dirty it was while the rear diffuser was off when swopping over to the M5 style one.

For the last few weeks I have had to use the car for work which was not my plan since there is daily. Definitely enjoying the the early morning drives to the gautrain station but it pains me to leave it parked at the station.
Hoping the daily get sorted soon so she can go back to enjoyment car lol

So skip forward what felt like a few weeks, but was more like months. I didn't think the interior was that bad, but still wanted it to get it better.
I normally start with the least aggressive option and work my way up. I had also purchased a scrub pad which did not feel aggressive but seemed to loosen the dirt easily. I did also use my steamer, but since it's not one made for cars, I felt it was creating more water droplets than steam.
Clearly there has been a fair amount of trim silicon or similar applied over time. Driver door had dirt in the usual spot like where you rest your arm
I do prefer the clean Matt finish
The water after cleaning the driver door pad And surrounding plastics was worse than initially thought.
