Interior plastic treatment

[Area51BS]

I’ve notice my interior textured black surfaces which is 90% of the interior just started looking hazy. And I care for mine well. Garage kept all week until I drive on weekends. I don’t use the cheap products to clean either. And never use protectants like that white greasy stuff. We also know Ford gave us what amounts to the cheapest plastic in the industry. But I want it to look good. I bought some Griot ceramic trim restorer to give it a try. What a difference. It’s starts off feeling slick, but nothing runs off on your hand when dry. It’s not permanent, so might need a few applications a year. Dries in minutes. Definitely richened up the plastic without the greasy spray. Pic shows half a panel done with hazy area to one side. Next I’ll use some interior cleaner and see if it removes it. I did keep a towel with detail cleaner to remove it while wet from any areas I don’t want it on.

Definitely not just a wet temporary surface. Sprayed it down with Griot’s interior detailer and it didn’t change. I suppose a stronger cleaner might. Griot’s detailer is for already clean surfaces.

Every time I start to clean up the plastic I run somewhere with the top down and it gets covered in dust again.

can’t win.

I use one product and one product only on interior plastics. (Unless they're ridiculously filthy and need a deep clean first)

Or the "aerospace" version of the same product it I have it

Also works wonderfully on fender flares, mudflaps, and floor mats.

Every time I clean I just find more scratches under the dirt.

100% This, I buy it by the gallon and refill my spray bottle.

I have only used these with the exterior plastics and it does an amazing job. Assuming it works as good with the interior.

I use Griots 3&1 ceramic on entire exterior.

Ditto this! I like that it dries non-greasy and actually lasts awhile. I do the entire interior with it including the membrane covered leather seating areas.

I am going to try this product. Heard a lot of good things about it. Do you notice a difference between the regular 303 and the marine/aerospace version? Wondering which would be the best for plastics both inside and outside the bronco.

Personally I haven’t seen a difference between the two versions.. but I’ll definitely pile on and say this is the best “one bottle do-all” for plastics and alike IMO

Do NOT use window cleaners with ammonia on your surfaces that aren't glass. They will dull. Do treat monthly with 303, as shown in a post below.

I do not use window cleaner period. Griots interior detailer only. It’s just a light cleaner and no residue.

By far the best, hands down, is the Cerakote Trim Coat. It is not as well known as most, but most reviews that include it will always pick it as the number one. Not just for longevity, hydrophobic properties, but also its protection.
The following link does a great review and includes most of the brands that people have mentioned previously in this thread, and explains them all really well.

I used this on all the exterior trim. It is the best I’ve ever used.
I have not tried it on the interior - anyone here have any experience using this on the interior?
