I just looked to see exactly where damage is prevalent and it's all really bad on the driverside door pull thing, a little on the shifter trim is mainly on the driver side but still slightly on passenger side.
The rest of the silver, A/C rings and knee pad trim are ok so parts that aren't touched are good. The difference in door handles is huge, passenger side is still new.
Could be just from touching it though or maybe a combination with the heavy cleaning I do inside. Maybe my sweat is higher pH and does more damage to stuff I touch?
Either way, it doesn't look like less than 4 years/19k miles of inside wear and more like 20 years worth and it bothers me every time I sit in the car now.

Maybe that is it. I wipe mine down with plain old soapy water about once every two years or so. Could be a combination of the cleaner and sweat.
Like new. Dirty but 100% intact.
