Britemax interior dressing is good, doesn't leave a glossy in your face finish, darkens the trim and leaves a gentle sheen on there.
Carpro perl diluted is another good product for interior plastics.

Wolfs 'silk milk', I think it just called interior dressing on detail websites, fantastic stuff. Darkens it up a touch, gives it a lovely smooth feeling and smells gorgeeeeeee!  :smiley:

Before you go and buy any product, give baby wipes a try.

I always keep baby wipes in the car. Never know when you may need them :rolleyes:

The surfaces are all clean. Just wanted to see if they could be nourished or conditioned. I know it's not leather so won't absorb

i use carlack stuff and its quite good, prefer it to pb's new look trim gel, but its not for cleaning the dash more for treating it after its clean

tbh the only thing you really need for plastic is something like G101 or some other generic APC... you won't need to nourish it as such as all you're doing is adding something with some element of silicone in there to create 'shine'

if you want something to add a little bit of lustre that has multiple uses and will go a long way then I would recommend something like autosmart finish

I would go over mines with G101 or Orchard APC the a rub over with Poorboys World Natural Look

for leather - gliptone but it does stink and can look greasy if you over apply.

You need a leather cleaner then leather care. AutoGlym kit leaves a satin finish but many more out there which I have not bothered testing.
