3. Revive Faded Plastic and Trim 
The Problem: Sun damage has left your plastic bumpers, door handles, and trim looking gray and faded.
The Solution: Baby oil penetrates plastic to restore its original dark, rich appearance.
How to Do It:
- Clean the plastic surface first
- Apply a small amount of baby oil to a cloth
- Rub into the faded plastic using circular motions
- Allow to penetrate for 2-3 minutes
- Buff with a clean cloth to remove excess oil
Best For:
- Exterior plastic trim
- Door handles and mirrors
- Bumper plastic
- Window moldings
- Dashboard surfaces (use sparingly)
Long-term Benefits: Regular treatment can help prevent future UV damage and cracking.
4. Create a Dust-Repelling Interior Finish 
The Problem: Your dashboard and interior surfaces attract dust constantly.
The Solution: Baby oil creates an anti-static barrier that repels dust and debris.
How to Do It:
- Use very sparingly – less is more for interiors
- Apply a tiny amount to a microfiber cloth
- Wipe down dashboard, console, and door panels
- Buff thoroughly to prevent any greasy feel
- Focus on hard plastic surfaces only
Interior Areas to Treat:
- Dashboard (non-leather areas)
- Center console
- Door panels
- Cup holders
- Air vents (exterior only)
Safety Note: Avoid using on steering wheels, pedals, or any surface you need to grip securely.
