What is the perferred way to take care of the titanium trim in my beast?

Thanks

Titanium or the sport brushed aluminum trim? I have the aluminum trim and use Zep stainless steel cleaner I bought from Home Depot for my kitchen appliances (some of which have brushed aluminum panels). It cleans smudges etc very well and leaves a bit of a protective film. I do NOT spray it directly on the trim in my car. I first spray on a rag, carefully wipe on, wipe off and then use another clean rag to buff dry. It works really nicely.

In the 3 cars I've had that have had a "metallic" type trim, I've used damp paper towels or cotton rags. There was never a need for anything else.

Is the "titanium" trim really metal, or is it plastic that is painted to look like metal? I'm afraid (if it is painted) that metal cleaner may remove the paint.
