The Ultimate Car Owners Guide On How To Properly Care And Prevent Plastic Fading
Are your car’s plastic parts starting to fade or look very worn out? If your answer was yes, then rest assured that you are not the only one experiencing this!
Today, we will discuss the serious problem that every car owner has experienced or will go through at some point, called "Faded Plastic”.
Since plastic is commonly a cheaper material, most car manufacturers increase their use of plastic in the interior and exterior parts of the vehicle. When plastic fading occurs, the plastic turns gray and the whole car begins to look old and rusty. Something you definitely do not want!
Why Does Plastic Fading Occur?
Most of us park or leave our vehicle under the sun for many hours. As a result, the sun's rays heat the plastic and cause it to crack and fade faster.
Parking Under The Sun: Parking under the sun causes the car to heat up from the inside, which also damages the rubber parts that surround the windows and prevents the window from sealing properly. If the rubber on the windscreen wipers break it will fail to carry the water properly, which will impair your ability to drive on rainy days.
Accumulation Of Dust: Other reasons for plastic fading are the accumulation of dust combined with the sun's rays that dissolve it and cause it to stick to the plastic. This creates a stain that is almost impossible to remove and even if you manage to remove it, you are left with a stain of paint.
Food leftovers and coffee: Most of us today eat on the road and leave leftovers in the car. Food residue will stain your plastic and make it look dirty and cheap. Drink stains can fade your plastic faster, especially if the drink has a darker color to it, like coffee. If you do eat and drink in the car, make sure to wipe after and throw away any food residue that has been left.
How Can I Treat Plastic Fading?
If you have come this far, then it is most likely that the problems are probably found inside your vehicle. We are also sure that you have read and done quite a bit of online research on how you can solve the above problems (before reading this article of course!).
You have probably found that you can apply peanut butter, cooking oil, paint sprays and quite a few other solutions that, with time, do more harm than good to your plastic and car as a whole. Although it looks tempting to spread peanut butter on your vehicle parts, we highly urge you to most definitely not do it.

Most of us today are busy with work and family and rarely have time and patience to sit and clean the vehicle almost every day.
Therefore, with the help of a few simple tips and actions, you can both keep the car like new and also continue your lifestyle without interfering with each other.
-
It is recommended to use the spray as part of your regular detailing treatment before you start noticing the fading of the plastic or the weakening of the rubbers.
-
Try to park in a shaded area to protect the plastic parts in the vehicle from the harmful UV rays.
-
If you have indoor parking, if possible, slightly open the windows in the vehicle to help lower the interior temperature and equalize the air pressure.
-
If you can not find a place with enough shade, park your car so that the front is facing against the direct sunlight.
-
If you park your car outside and under direct sunlight, use a car cover. If you don’t own one, use a windshield cover.
-
Try to avoid leaving leftover food or coffee in the car.
-
Avoid using wax on the plastic thinking that it creates a protective layer. Actually, the opposite is true, the wax goes into the plastic pores and turns it chalky, further amplifying the effect of your graying trim.
As you can see, plastic fading can be a major problem for car owners. Because your car is almost entirely covered with plastic, the minute it starts to look worn out and faded, your entire car begins to achieve that same look. We are sure that you do not want your car looking old and rusty because of an accidental coffee stain. With that, we recommend you give the Universal Multi-Purpose Cleaner (Cleaning base) + Tires & Plastic Restoration a try. Not only will this product remove any plastic fading your car may have, but it will also help you prevent further fading from occurring in the future, with regular use of course.
