    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Starting work on a 2018 G80 Sport cleaning and protecting - is it Glass that surrounds the sunroof in the front and the sides?

It seems the front panel is Glass and the 2 side edges are painted plastic
But, I am not positive


This is going to be a few months to get the G80 where I want it.
I have started on the dash and anything not leather up front
I used Chemical Guys Invisible super cleaner and natural shine and bring the dash back to life.

I will be using Leatherique on all leather but I need the outside temps to get up into the 70s so I can cook their Rejuvenator product and lift the dirt right out.

Outside
IronX to get rid of containiments
Clay bar
polish (not sure yet of which product I will use)
Ceramic Coat (not sure yet of which product I will use)

how have things faired for you? I just bought a used 2018 G80 Sport and need to bring some of it back to life. I'm currently looking for what products to use for the seats, those painted plastic pieces on the roof, and polish for the chrome trim.
 
Weather has been a bit harsh so haven't had the time to get down to business.

On the Chrome - I used Mother's California Gold Chrome Polish. Using a foam paint brush to paint it on and then waited a bit to remove. After several coats almost all issues are gone. It does seems to leave something behind to protect. Ultimate goal is get it clean and then protect with a ceramic coating.

Leather - I will be using leatherique products - Rejuvenator and Clean. I have used before but I need some sun and warmth to get it to work well. Lacking a bit of both right now.

Hopefully in April I will be able to get going on the rest of the G80.

finally got around to polishing the paint and protecting it.
2 coats of Kamikaze Miyabi and one coat of ISM
Still to do - clean the glass and coat that.
Clean and protect and wheels and tires

The Chrome has been dealt with - it is clean but probably not like original
