Properties of plastic cleaners for vehicles

Plastic parts on vehicles are always exposed to the weather, at least sunlight reaches almost every part of the car. UV light removes plasticizers from the plastic and changes its color. For this reason, plastic cleaners have certain properties:

1. Plastic cleaners not only remove dirt from plastic parts, they also make them pliable again.
2. Plastic tends to become electrostatically charged and thus attract dust. Plastic cleaners for cars also counteract this effect.
3. Plastic cleaners seal the surface and can make it shine. As a rule, professionals only use care products that dry to a matt finish, i.e. do not achieve a gloss. Shiny plastic surfaces in cars look greasy and unkempt. Therefore, avoid products that promise shine.
