Took me a while to post these. Hope it helps some of you make your colour decisions.

Very shiny!

What do you use to clean the wood?

What camera are you using?

I just use a damp cloth to wipe the wood (just water).

The camera is a Canon 5D with very good L (Pro) lenses.
No post-processing.

I actually don't spend much time on it. Maybe every 1-2 months.

I use a microfibre cloth (a cheap one from the supermarket).
I soak it in water and then wring it out so that it is only slightly damp (almost dry). I wipe the wood and there is so little water it dries immediately as I rub it.

A couple of times, I have used BMW interior cleaner fluid diluted in water (just a drop or two) again on an almost dry but slightly damp microfibre. This very mild detergent will remove oils. If you don't have this use a few drops of woolite mixed with a cup of water.

I clean the leather the same way. I avoid using chemicals and detergent as much as possible. Microfibre is great it is will absorb surface grime.

Between your car, camera and your computer your "toy level" is very high!

Yes, I was surprised at how good this looks. It sort of balances out the black dashboard. It almost makes it look like the not-in-North-America Lemon!
