    Wash your grubby hands! :D

    Just kidding. I am interested in this as well. Could you put like some Armor All on it? Kidding, but I would be interested to hear what is the best way to keep it nice and shiny. I haven't gotten mine yet, but I do have a black car and it gets dirty as soon as you drive out of the carwash. ;)

    XPS should arrive Monday! Huzzah!!

    I used a very small amount of windex on mine and it cleaned it well.
    you can make sure it's dry and it's just fine

    Wipe clean with microfiber cloth first if still there then a very mild soap and water wipe and rinse wipe with plain water and dry with microfiber cloth. I don't recommend cleansers with ammonia since it's harsh and might discolor the finish.
