(G) Cleaning the Grey Interior Plastic

Hi all, sorry for no posts lately hope your all getting on OK.

Its time for a bit of spring cleaning on the wife's Punto mk1 99 - a bit of hoovering and cleaning upholstery and all that lot. I never know what to do with the grey plastic interior of the car though you know the dashboard and all the grey plastic trims on the doors and floors. Its pretty scuffed and light scratches in places you know the usual - what do people on here use apart from normal furniture polish? is there something ideal for cleaning and polishing it out of Halfords or something like that?

many thanks,

Andy.

Interior plastic polish?

I've used a couple of those sponge things from turtlewax before...they come impregnated with shiny stuff that ya wipe over the dash to leave it shiny and slightly lemon scented.

Thanks,

I have seen it for black plastic dashboards but not for grey plastic I don't think. Isn't it called back to black or something?

Hi, back to black from halfords gives all interior plastics a shine not just black.

Really, great thanks I will give it a go. How do peeps on here rate that stuff is it good results? - also does it leave a slippery surface or does it dry?
Cheers,

Andy.

Not sure about other people but i rate it, ive been using it for years now most plastic interior spraying products make slippery surfaces, thats why they tell you not to spray it on the streeing wheel, also its good for keeping dust away for a while.

I've bin usin Linseed oil fer ages, bout a squid a bottle works on all plastics and last a lot longer than the back to black stuff even brings black bumpers up like new !

great thanks for that tip I have a bottle of that in my shed - imagine you can use that then. I am gonna try that. I have a bloomed black door mirror as well and i see if that works.

Just be carfull with the rags that you use,

If there soaked in linseed oil they can spontainiously combust if yer dunt wash em out when your finnished
