Hi guys
I was wondering if the wood trim in my c180 1997 w202 is real wood as I would like to take it back to the bare wood. I did this with my XJ6 when I redid the interior. I just think it will look nice with an oiled finnish. I have had a look at the back of a peace of the trim and it looked plastic, I don't want to start rubbing it down just in case it is plastic. Any advice very welcome thanks.
 
Yes it is walnut veneer, about 3mm IIRC
 
0.3 mm more like it. Be real careful with this, often better to leave it to the experts if you need to go down to the wood....

You can polish out any light scratching with 2000 grit paper and/or cutting compound followed by a good car polish. Cutting compound alone will open up deeper scratches so use the 2000 grit on those to keep it flat - ish. They come up a treat.
