Questions & answers
Cleaning and caring for the dash panel, wooden trims and plastic parts — Volkswagen Golf Mk7
How do I clean the Golf Mk7 dashboard and plastic trim?
Wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, use a solvent-free plastic care product. Never use silicone sprays — they cause reflections on the windscreen.
Can silicone spray damage the Golf Mk7 interior?
Silicone-based products create a glossy, slippery film that reflects in the windscreen, impairing visibility. Use only matte-finish, VW-approved interior care products.
How do I clean Golf Mk7 wooden trim inserts?
Use a slightly damp soft cloth and dry immediately. Do not use furniture polish or solvent-based cleaners — they can dissolve the lacquer on the wood veneer.
