I normally just wipe the doors down with a wet cloth and then use some leather cleaner\protector to buff it up, I haven't done that in quite a while...

I'm going to go out on a limb here... I reckon mine look perfect. Because it's a dye, you can't scratch them, chip them etc. They look and feel like they came from the factory like that! I love my doors! :pimp
you didn't dye your carpet you painted them the carpet is polypropylene made from the same stuff shopping bags are made of this product is non absorbant so it is painted not dyed it can rub off over time hope i have helped :D

Rub off...

Will that be sooner rather then later!? I also did the main carpet like JPC. Doesn't look like new carpet, but it's taken a beating for two years and still looks fine. Who cares, it looks awesome for 24 year old carpet! :D
