To perform this operation, you need a specific product recommended by the YouTuber: VAE Protection Totanium, a plastic renovator available on Amazon with code B0DMP5MCZM for £34.90, with free delivery. First, apply a degreaser to the entire dashboard to remove grease, dust, and dirt: this step is essential for a successful outcome.

Apply a small amount of the product to the supplied sponge and rub it on the dashboard. After applying the product, take a clean microfiber cloth and wipe it over the surface to remove excess, ensuring an even colour.

Allow it to dry for 24 hours: the product crystallises and remains satin for at least 2 years. Fading and stains disappear, small scratches are camouflaged, and the plastic does not become sticky.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
