What are you using on your plastics ?

What are you using on your plastics ?

I tried mothers vinyl, rubber, & plastic protector on the truck at work.
It seemed to work well. I haven't tried it on my camaro.

I'm looking to keep the the interior mint and not damage it.

I use Adams VRT on my interior, slight gloss to it, but not greasy looking. Has SPF 35 iirc. If you prefer a matte look they also offer Leather Conditioner which has SPF 65 and is of course more matte looking. Ill link both products for you:

Leather Conditioner - http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-66-ad...nditioner.aspx

windex contains harsh chemicals.. they may crack your plastics over time, be careful.

I've always used Armor All. I was brought up using it on plastics on our cars/atvs/snowmobiles/sea-doos/boats/etc. It is a bit more greasy at first than I like, but it soaks in and looks great. It makes those dark grey plastic interiors of our Camaros look truly black.

I use plexus on basically all interior and it works great, gets rid of most of the scuff marks by from your shoes and doesn't leave a really shiney finish like armor all

Windex and other similar things might look nice for a while, but eventually they will cause cracks due to the chemicals drying out the material too much.

Adam's VRT and Adam's Leather Conditioner. They are both the best I have ever used.
