Can Automotive Plastic Renovators Be Used?
2 Answers
Automotive plastic renovators can be used, primarily on aged and whitened black plastics. Their functions include: 1. Making plastics appear newer. 2. Restoring the original color of yellowed plastic surfaces caused by long-term use and aging, which affects aesthetics. Precautions for using plastic renovators are as follows: 1. Take protective measures: Keep away from children during operation, wear rubber gloves and protective goggles. 2. Do not mix: It is strictly prohibited to mix with other substances. 3. Prepare for immediate use: When used as a cleaning agent, prepare and use it immediately. 4. If accidentally splashed into eyes or on skin, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention if severe. 5. Keep out of reach of children and avoid ingestion.
I've been maintaining my car myself, and plastic restorers do work quite well with noticeable results. They can remove the oxidized layer and dirt stains from plastic surfaces, restoring the black glossy finish of interior dashboards or door panels, making them look brand new again. The application is simple: clean the area first, spray on the restorer, wipe it evenly with a cloth, and wait a few minutes for absorption. I've tried several brands, and the effect typically lasts two to three months before needing reapplication. Just be careful not to apply too many layers, as it may feel sticky or leave marks. For mildly aged plastics, this is a cost-effective solution—much cheaper and more convenient than replacing parts. Overall, I’d recommend giving it a try.
