Default Interior ????

While the interior is out of my wife's car(all the plastic pieces).I need to clean them.Anybody have any ideas on what to use to make them look new again?
I might just end up painting them,but don't want too if i don't have to.

Paint will be the easiest way to go. I'd have to see how dirty they were to really give you an idea of what to do. As per carpet, and cloth, I use Meguiars "Quik Out" and for plastics, I use Meguiars Interior Detailer.

Repainting the plastic pieces would probably be the best bet. I painted the plastic pieces in my interior 5 years ago and they still look good. First get some acetone and wipe them down thoroughly this will remove all the cleaners that were used then I used the Duplicolor Vinyl and Interior trim dye from O`Reilly`s.

Im sure you know this already... but make sure to prep the area your going to paint first, wipe as much of the 'on top' dirt and grime off as you can, or the paint wont stick well. And do many light coats, giving them plenty of time to dry, instead of thick ones.
