If the interior trim covering the dashboard and door panels looks dull and aged, you can restore its shine by polishing it with a special wax (carnauba-based wax is recommended: it is derived from the leaves of a palm tree); protect the surrounding plastic area with masking tape, apply the wax with cotton balls using circular motions until the surface is evenly opaque; wait a few minutes and remove the wax with a microfiber cloth; repeat the steps if necessary.
