Default Trim restore

I have a 2005 lariet that the interior trim is getting pretty faded especially the tops of the door panels. Any recommendations on what to use to restore them? Thanks

You talking about the plastic on the interior. I used the black plastic trim spray you get at wally world. Had it on for 3 years looks good.

I have the tan interior, would this still work? Does it leave it feeling greasy at all?

I had a motorcycle with oxidized plastics ... had Meguires "Back to Black" recommended. It worked well and I've used it on various plastic trim on my truck with good success. Where I've used it, I've not noticed it slick as with other products like ArmorAll. It also lasts much longer inside.

I always have used tire shine. Been using it for years. On all the plastic and rubber. It actually saves the plastic from drying out and becoming brittle. If it feels to "greasy" to you after you apply. Let the heat of the sun soak it in then wipe excess away.

This is the stuff most popular with Chevy Avalanche owners with faded plastic cladding. Works great on faded plastics. Heavy vapors when applying, so do it in an open area.
