Default Cleaning wood Veneer

Does anyone know what products to use for keeping the wood veneer in pristine condition.

Pledge or Scotts Liquid Gold. Actually, you can wax the wood with car polish-wax too, but I like the lemon smell of Pledge and it is quicked to treat.

Many thanks. I use autoglym on the paint, so I will try that. I am not sure that I can get Pledge or Scots Liquid Gold in France.

You must be able to find something similar and I would chose it before going with auto wax even though auto wax is totally fine and safe

O.k, I will wait until a friend of mine visits the UK next month as I am not sure what the French equivalent would be. I like the idea of a nice fresh lemon smell.

Many thanks mosesbotbol

We have just found the Pledge lemon, it's called Pliz in France. Made by Johnson

I am brand new to Jaguar ownership, so I could be completely wrong here. However, it looks to me that the wood veneer is covered with a very thick layer of plastic. Wouldn't Windex be just as effective? I don't think there is an issue with damaging the wood or even damaging a "varnish". But again, please put me in my place if necessary because I want to use the right thing on my car as well!

Default Plastic polish

A product used commonly for motorcycle windscreens.
Plexus.
Meguiars plastic polish.
Pledge works fine but leaves a slight smudge.
All good.

I occasionally chamois it with clean water. Then plexus.
