Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care — interior trim restoration with UV protection

Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care is a versatile interior protectant formulated to restore colour, enhance appearance and protect vinyl, plastic and rubber surfaces from UV damage. Designed for dashboards, door trims, centre consoles and rubber components, it helps maintain a clean, factory-fresh finish while reducing the risk of fading and surface drying.

The formulation leaves a protective film that shields against sunlight and environmental exposure. Finish level can be adjusted depending on how the product is buffed — leaving it unbuffed results in a higher gloss, while light buffing produces a more natural satin appearance.

Where Vinyl & Rubber Care fits in your detailing routine

This product is best used after cleaning interior surfaces thoroughly. For heavier contamination, pre-clean using an interior APC and a suitable detailing brush. Once clean and dry, apply Vinyl & Rubber Care to enhance and protect.

For final wipe-down and streak-free finishing, use a clean microfibre cloth to level the finish evenly.

Application


Ensure surfaces are clean and dry.
Apply a light mist directly to the surface or onto an applicator.
Spread evenly across the trim.
Buff lightly to achieve your preferred finish.


Professional Guidance


Do not apply to steering wheels, pedals or gear selectors.
Buff thoroughly to avoid excessive shine on modern matte interiors.
Reapply periodically to maintain protection.


Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care is ideal for maintaining interior appearance while helping extend the life of plastic and rubber components.

Our Take

“Where we use it, and why it’s still a staple for exterior trim.”

Vinyl & Rubber Care is one of those straightforward products that does exactly what it says. We tend to reach for it when exterior plastics, rubber seals, or engine bay components are looking dry or a little tired, and we want a quick lift without overcomplicating things.

In terms of finish, it leans towards a richer, darker look rather than a completely matte OEM appearance. It restores colour nicely and gives trim that freshly dressed look, which works particularly well on older plastics that have lost their depth. We always apply it lightly and build up if needed — that keeps the finish controlled rather than overly shiny.

It’s also useful for conditioning rubber seals and weather strips, helping to keep them looking healthy and less prone to drying out over time. While it’s not a long-term restorative coating, it’s reliable for regular maintenance and easy to top up as part of a wash routine.

For us, Vinyl & Rubber Care is a simple, effective way to refresh trim and rubber when we want visible results quickly. It’s not trying to reinvent anything — it just delivers a dependable, tidy finish when used sensibly.

I use this on outside window rubbers, nice beading on them after. It drips down on the paint sometimes, leaving marks on paint

First class results - as expected. Used to give the finishing touches after cleaning the engine compartment.

Great product. I dress the engine bay with it then use the blower to get it in to the little hard to reach places.

Very versatile rubber and plastic protectant. I use it on tyres to provide a natural sheen, engine cover compartments, any exterior black or grey plastics and even on the rubber seals. Ideal detailing product but one that is beneficial.

I’m not a great fan of AG products but the V&R Care is one that I do use. I find it to be one of the best products for rubbers and plastics. Easy to apply. Spray onto cloth and apply. Wipe with dry cloth to leave protected, dry surface with no sticky residue. Great on tyres. If applied as above, it will not get flicked up your wings.

Absolutely fantastic. Best product I have ever used in the engine bay. Get this, used it on my black alloys and they are sparkling. Highly recommended.

I use this on all 3 of our cars, ranging from a new Porsche and BMW down to a 16 year old Astra estate! It keeps the new plastics and rubbers lovely and protected, and on the old dog it revitalises the acres of dark grey plastic that the UV is trying to fade to white! I use it only on exterior plastics and rubber trim/seals applying either via spraying onto a cloth for application to the finer stuff to spraying it directly onto larger areas and spreading with my cloth. It lasts, and provides a very attractive finish. Much better than anything else I've ever used, and a match for BMW's recommended Gummipflege on the rubber seals. Goes a long way, too :-) Buy it!
