You have to make up your mind if you wan to use a natural wax like carnauba
or a synthetic polymer. I go with the former and use Gliptione carnauba
paste wax... in the blue can. For a nice wax finish, it's easy to apply
and buff.

Nothing in the way of "protectants" - they're a scam and will make your
Honda dash look like a cheap Chevy from 1985. Get a small paint prush,
about the size you'd use for painting a window frame and use that to get
dust etc. out of the seams in the plastic, vacuum if necessary and finish
with a damp cloth.
