Interior Plastic Restorer

I’ve tried some searching and if I have missed previous answers/threads I apologize. Looking for expertise on restoring dried interior plastic. Not a dressing or coating, but is there a product the plastic will actually absorb?

The center console specifically. It’s not bad at all, but looks a bit dried out from improper cleaners being used. Plenty of products will dress it up, but when the coating wears off, it is dry. Hoping there is a product that will “moisturize” the plastic. Appreciate the help

 

Sounds crazy but alot of pros use a heat gun for exterior and interior plastics.

 

No product that will absorb that I know of.

Cerakote, stuff should last forever on the interior plastic. It does make old finish look "new"

I did some outside plastics, bumpers, mud flaps back in 2020, 50k miles ago and they still look amazing.

 

Ok. Thank you for the input

 

Cerakote is a good product....and they have some new offerings for 2025. Interior plastics are a different animal.....very hard and not nearly as porous as exterior plastics. If you're up to the task....SEM makes some very good products for refinishing interior plastics. I repainted some door trim for another detailer who stained it with an improperly diluted APC......turned out pretty decent. Like a lot of things....good prep is the key

 

Thanks, I’ll consider those. Good input. I’ve thought about experimenting with some trim products on the interior. I have used SEM products with good results on some exterior trim pieces on different vehicles. I like the results. This interior is not in such bad shape to warrant anything major. I’ll proceed cautiously and thankfully, it’s not anything major
