The first model Panda is a car that never stops, and even if it is in poor condition, we hold onto it tightly. However, it is possible to improve it, especially inside where the plastics have deteriorated over time.

This is a home solution: mix a bit of two-stroke oil or some diesel (the proportions are not fixed; it should form a sort of paste) to rehydrate the plastic. This procedure should be repeated several times until the plastic absorbs the nutrient.

Afterwards, the treated plastics will not release greasiness, as they will have absorbed the moisture.
