Re: wood trim around gear shifter (archive)

Lee,
If the links below work...you will see what I did. My center console had begun to show its age and mileage (198xxx). Previous owners had probably sat keys or other items on the console and caused swirl marks. The finish was dull and faded...definitely a different color than the rest of the wood trim.

I saw the instrument repair guy at work put this polish on an old violin that looked as if it had been left out in the rain...the transformation was incredible. The polish can probably be found at an instrument sales/repair store that sell fine wooden instruments like violins, cellos, and string basses. It's called Kohr Violin Polish and has the appearance of milk. All it took was a small amount on the tip of a rag. The shine is impressive...you can see the reflection of the EDC switch like a freshly waxed car. I had used Old English (dark) and it worked okay... but this stuff beat it hands down. It didn't remove the swirl marks...but the shine is so bright it makes it difficult to see them...you have to put your face close to the console to even notice them. Oh well, just my .02...

Here's the links (I hope they work...I still can't get pic to post from my roadfly.com web space):
