    Plastic trim help please matt

    Not Punto related, but for my van.

    Basically the plastic in my van, mainly door cards are fooking minging. They're dirty, sticky..... A real state from a couple if years if getting in and out, resting arms on the card whilst covered in dirty oil, etc.


    Any suggestions or recommended products?

    Have to excuse the pic, shitty tapatalk won't let me upload a clear version.

    Best bet is to use a 5 and 10 pound note soaked in StarDrops and keep rubbing till the queens head disappears. Use neat on the tough areas.

    Some good advises in here

    I would use a strong all purpose cleaner (APC) mate. Rub it on with a microfibre cloth. Wouldn't waste your time with Tardis, as it's a solvent based tar remover.. not sure why you'd use that inside a car.. traffic film remover (TFR) is also pretty strong alkaline based stuff, so if the APC isn't working, you could try some of that. I would try the APC first though, at various strengths starting at maybe just the usual 10:1 all the way down to neat! Only if this fails, step it up to the TFR, and make sure once the stains have gone, that you then wipe clean with fresh water on a cloth. Don't want any chemicals sticking to your skin next time you put your arm on the rest!
    If you have any car care related questions, ask me in the Cleaning/Detailing section.

    Cheers buddy, I have an abundance of TFR at work as we get it in by the 40 gallon drum.
