To remove water stains from car interior plastic, a common and effective method involves using plain old white vinegar.
Water stains, often caused by mineral deposits left behind as water evaporates, can mar the look of your car's interior plastic surfaces. White vinegar, due to its mild acidity, can help dissolve these mineral deposits.
Using White Vinegar for Water Stain Removal
Based on the provided information, here are two ways to use white vinegar:
Method 1: Spray and Wipe
- Fill a spray bottle with plain old white vinegar.
- Spray the vinegar liberally onto the affected plastic surface.
- Immediately wipe off the sprayed area using a microfibre cloth.
This method is good for lighter stains or quick touch-ups.
Method 2: Soak and Dwell
- Soak a paper towel in white vinegar.
- Place the soaked paper towel directly onto the water stain on the plastic surface.
- Let the paper towel sit there for a few minutes.
- It is preferable to do this in a cool shady place to prevent the vinegar from drying too quickly.
- After letting it sit, wipe off the area with a microfibre cloth.
This technique allows the vinegar more contact time to break down stubborn mineral deposits.
Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the vinegar does not adversely affect the plastic finish.
