Cleaning interior plastics

Post by excursion » Wed May 26, 2004 10:21 pm

What do you chaps use on the interior plastics?

I don't want to use back to black or other silicone products as they make it look shiney and cheap.

I use Zymol's Clear product, in a very weak solution applied with a cloth. Then after that has dried and plastics been in the sun at least 15 minutes I use Zymol Vinyl which you must apply in modest amounts or the car's plastics will go too shiny for my tastes. Once finished I the pass a damp cloth over the treated plastics again. Sounds OTT but in practice the products are so good you don't do it best often.
I use www.vertar.com in the UK to supply Zymol, or buy loads in one shot and get it delivered to a local USA address if I'm across the pond.

Armoral or something like that. I doesn't leave the dash too shiney. Like that horrible back to black or cockpit shine. It's just the right amount of polish. Not sure if it has silicone, but it works a treat on most things rubber etc. I don't put it on glass. Although I'm not sure what it would do? I've used if for years on cars and motorbike plastics. Halfords sell it.

Meguiars Natural Shine, one coat gives it showroom finish, a second gives the shine if you want it
