Hey - thanks for the great tips!

As far as the tire cleaner on the door handles suggestion goes - is it the Meguiars 'Gold Class' Tire Protectorant Gel (the stuff that smells like bubble-gum)??

Also, at my local Pep Boys, I found some Lexol-ph which was in the row where the Vinylex was with the stock number changed to the ph label. Is this some 'new-and-improved' Vinylex or did I buy the wrong item??

I did a thorough wash today and discovered more areas of chipped paint. My MB's colour is a maroonish-cabernet. Any ideas on using a touch-up paint? Wax?

Thanks again for the great tips!
