How to restore a faded and stained dashboard

Model: Kia Rio DE, MK 2 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Dashboard

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.
