I use those Armor All wipes, they seem to work well.

no liquid of any kind, any soft tissue, nothing abrasive.

Default No liquid of any kind?! I have a stain I need to remove......
but a dry tissue is not going to do the trick.

Default Cross-hatched. The manual says something about....
"ph", but I'm not exactly sure what that means.

Default If the manual states something like that, I would have to assume they are following it up w/...
stating either something of high, mild or low (or even a numerical value)...
Meaning using a cleaner with a pH level that is friendly to the surface.

Use this pH Chart and your manual as a guide:
Hope this helps.<ul><li><a href="http://staff.jccc.net/pdecell/chemistry/phscale.html">http://staff.jccc.net/pdecell/chemistry/phscale.html</a</li></ul>

Default Stain on the trim? :-O
j/k Sorry I have no experience there. My wife thinks I am too crazy all the time to keep the car clean. Just be careful what material you use to clean the trim. They scratch easy.
