HOW TO RESTORE YOUR CAR PLASTIC

Approximately half of a car’s interior surfaces are made of plastic because it's lightweight, durable, and versatile. However, it can can quickly look worn and old if not properly maintained. Keeping your car's plastic looking new can make all the difference in maintaining the overall appearance and value of your vehicle. Here are five easy ways to get the showroom-new car. 

1. Start Care Early

Prevention is better than restoration. Begin caring for your car’s plastic surfaces as soon as you buy your vehicle. A few minutes every week early on helps prevent damage and maintains the material's original appearance.

2. Regular Cleaning

Consistent cleaning is key to keeping plastic in top condition. Use a soft microfiber cloth and a gentle, professional-grade plastic cleaner. Regular cleaning removes dirt and grime, preventing buildup that can lead to scratches and a dull appearance.

3. Clean Before Dressing

Always clean the plastic surfaces before applying any conditioners or protectants. This ensures that the dressing adheres properly and works effectively, providing a longer-lasting, polished look.

4. Use Professional-Grade Dressing

Opt for concentrated, professional-grade care products. These high-quality solutions are designed to provide superior results without the need for constant reapplication. They offer better protection and a longer-lasting finish. Look for one that is free of harmful chemicals - after all, you will be spending time in a closed space with these chemicals. 

5. Protect from the Elements

Shield your car’s plastic surfaces from environmental damage. Whenever possible, park in the shade or use a car cover to protect against UV rays. Look for dressings with UV protection to prevent fading and cracking caused by sun exposure.
