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.

Excellant produit dans un spray efficace, 2 pulvérisations sur une microfibre et voilà le TDB entièrement propre et comme neuf, sans mettre d'effet brillant ou très peu (suffit d'en mettre plus pour cela, mais ce n'est pas du boulot ! enfin chacun fait ce qu'il veut).

I have used this product for many years on many different cars, I have never once been disappointed. Always using it on most of the inside of the car from plastics, rubbers and even some parts of the engine bay to bring it back to life. Smells pretty alright too if I am honest.

This stuff is a bargain, and is so versatile. It leaves a breath taking finish on plastic engine covers and engine bay plastics... Use some Autoglym Engine/Machine cleaner on a grimy/oily engine bay, rinse off with a hose then generously spray this over the plastic and leave to dry.... you won't believe your eyes - makes all the plastic look like new. Awesome stuff!

I use this product on the rubber seals around the car, but specifically on the seals around the windows. As I drive a convertible it keeps the rubber supple and prevents noise from body flexing. Highly recommeded.

AG VaRC is a versatile little ditty. It can be used all over the interior and will give two distinct finishes (matte or glossy) depending on how it is used. For those interested, spray on microfibre, clean, then buff for matte, spray on directly, leave for a short while then buff off for glossy. It conditions your vinyl and rubber, leaving it looking well cared for and the product leaves a legacy of reasonable dust repellance. Its only real downside in my opinion is the fact that it will leave a surface quite slippy so can't really be used on control surfaces such as gear sticks, steering wheels or door handles.
