something about used cars

Have you noticed that used cars interior look polished/waxed and shines more? I hate how it looks. Is it just because of it being used or do they polish it? I love the way new cars look (no shine, matte look)

Its from the constant rubbing action that creates a shine on the leather....My old E36 the steering wheel was leather but with a sheen to it!!!

I believe it's from the detailing products they use.

yeah, its probably from plastic protectants like armor all, usually the dealers have it detailed before they sell it so its all shined up to look like new, but i agree that a matted interior will look newer and looks much better
