Just bought a 2010 Denali with the cashmere interior for my wife and she does not like the wood grain at all. She'd rather have the aluminum look from the Z71 tahoe. She already siad she can deal with the steering wheel and console armrest lid still being woodgrain. My question is, it look like the brushed metal dash vents and steering wheel parts we have now have a brownish tint to them, and the Z71 parts look like striaght aluminum. Does onyone know if all of this will match or am I going to have to replace more parts?

TIA.

My wood grain isn't in the best shape. The console piece and large piece on the dash are scratched from the previous owner.

How badly scratched? Try some MacGuire's Plast-x clear plastic polish. Then, go over it with lemon Pledge. See how that works. Works for me.

Thank you! I was just going to post asking that question. Going to try it this weekend. The console cup holder part is pretty bad. We'll see how it turns out.

you shouldn't have a problem getting rid of your wood grain pieces here...

Ideally I'd find someone local (northern new jersey) to swap with. Until then I got almost all of the scratches out with Meguiars Plast-x.

If you need something stronger some compound did mine wonders.
