Its ok, I got a soft cloth in the car. lol

I can't find any example pics of Piano black in a D3, so I'm going to risk it and do it anyway.

Just need to find out how to take bits off now.

My mate has piano black in his Toerag... Give it a wipe before you leave and within an hour, it's looking dusty again

Does look nice when clean though.

I have a piano/gloss black interior in a work car that I drive and as has been said already, as soon as you run a dry cloth over it, there is some more dust.

Looks good though if you ignore that.

I imagine it would look good in a D3 with any colour interior actually.

Honestly, stay away from piano black, the worst possible finish for fingerprints and fine dust, sooo a daily stuff, which means wiping it every day as it will drive you mad, or if it doesnt bother you that much then it wont look that great because of the things mentioned above

Something like this maybe

The fingerprint and dust thing don't bother me. I'm normally sat there with a cloth wipping it over cause I'm on the ferry or stuck in traffic.

Could always colour code them?
