The plastic lining in the passenger compartment has micropores, in which dirt is often clogged. However, the plastic itself can easily be cleaned using improvised tools.
To clean the plastic, the author uses laundry soap, a soft car sponge and a brush to clean clothes (with fine pile).
The first step is to wet the surface of the plastic with water. Then, using a car sponge, we lather the casing with laundry soap.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, we take a brush with a fine pile, gently rub it with household soap, and begin to carefully clean the micropores clogged with dirt on the plastic.
After that, rinse the sponge, wring it out so that it is slightly damp, and wipe the surface of the plastic, removing the remaining soapy foam.
To avoid any stains, you need to wipe the cleaned surface of the plastic dry with microfiber.
After such a cleaning, the plastic looks like new - the result, as they say, is obvious. If you wish, you can still apply a polish to make the surface of the plastic glossy.
