How to make Volvo interiour 'new' ?
 

Hi guys

Looking for a way to make car interior a bit newer or at least fresh.

I can see plastics have scratches etc.

I was thinking to put some tape/carbon on middle console plastics to make them a bit better.

Not sure what is it called but I am sure it is not called 'tape'

So my question is: if there is such a thing that doesn't look like carbon but would stick well to the plastics and make them look better?

Well, if you just would like to refresh plastics in the interior you could use special fillers, I think they will be called. Afterwards you polish the plastic a bit, Or you can replace them by different kinds of interior like wooden or alloy look as the original one, if you do not have it inside. Just as you like.

If you want just to clean it, a steam cleaner could be useful, but you have to be careful.
I cleaned my leather seats with saddle soap today, with a quite good result. Got it from a friend of mine who is professionally cleaning cars for dealerships and private customers.

Hi, I have recently renovated my cream leather seats in a V70 T5 and V70 2.4. I used Saddle soap firstly to remove the greater amount of past lurgy and them steam cleaned them to both kill bugs and soften the leather. I then applied a good quality leather nourishing cream. The seats have come up really well.

I have also previously used a product called 'Gliptone' which will provide a dye to match the colour of the seats, which is great for renovating the colour where it might have faded / perished. You can still nourish / feed, 'Connolise' the leather after applying this product.

I did this on a previous car the end result was as-near showroom condition.

I hope you find this helpful / useful.

For leather repairs, recolouring and cleaning/conditioning I can highly recommend https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/ Probably not the cheapest about, but I successfully 'repainted' a leather seat with their kit. Easy to use and a very satisfactory result. They also do the repairs for you if you don't want to do it yourself.

For covering scratches in plastics, you could use a very fine wet n dry silicon free sandpaper (from a bodyshop) to get rid of the scratches, then either go progressively finer and leave the surface like that, or else paint it... or you could use hydro graphic film to 'wrap' the parts - something like https://www.hydro-graphics.co.uk/ To be honest this is what I'd do if I wanted to rejuvenate my car's interior.
