Anyone know if you can wax/seal the interior trim?

I have the high gloss black trim and was thinking about sealing and waxing it to protect and make it easier to clean. Any thoughts?

Yes you can use Z2 Pro on the HG trim. I used it on the trim around the mirrors and on my CF caps.

From the Zaino website:
Z-2 PRO™ will not leave behind messy residue, and it won't stain your plastic trim or rubber pieces. Our special flex-additives help keep your paint resilient and elastic, and can breathe new life into dull or faded rubber and plastic trim pieces.

I tried both the external wax (using Meguiars NXT) and also Minwax (a furniture wax). Given the surface treatment BMW put on the wood trim (gray poplar), the Meguiars worked better.
