I bet you would find that a wipe with a damp soft cloth followed by a dry soft (Cotton) cloth will be all you need.

Check the manual for actual 'cleaning' but for light fingerprints and dust (man this wood shows dust like crazy doesn't it?!?!?) I have been using a mini California duster I picked up at Walmart and it works like a champ.

I leave it on the floor in the back seat now since the gloss wood does show the dust a lot easier than the flat wood did in my 08. Probably need to hit it every couple of days now.

Meg's Quick Interior Detailer with a microfiber cloth. The wood is clear coated, so you can also lightly polish it if it gets scratches. You can also use most paint sealants on it.

I've used Klasse AIO on interior coated wood with nice results.

You might want to post in the detailing section. There is a pro there that will give great suggestions.

I like to use a soft cotton cloth wet with water to wipe down the interior trim, etc. 303 Aerospace on the trim. I like to use Lexol cleaner & conditioner on the leather surfaces, gives it a nice factory new look without major gloss.

I don't think the wood trim is ACTUALLY wood at all imo. It's just plastic.

Those California dusters that DigMy35x recommended really do work well.

I have a larger one, had it for years - it's FILTHY (you can't wash them) but still picks up dirt big-time. Will buy another soon. A small one for in the car use is a great idea...
