Interior plastic degradation is common in Pakistan due to intense sunlight and high temperatures. The UV rays weaken the plastic polymers over time, causing discoloration, fading, o r even cracks—particularly on the dashboard, door panels, and steering wheel cover.

Fixes & Prevention:

Use sunshades and park in shaded areas to minimize UV exposure.

Regularly apply UV-protectant sprays o r dashboard conditioners like Armor All o r STP.

If cracking has already occurred, a plastic restorer o r professional interior refurbishing may be needed.
