Its state-of-the-art formula includes UV absorbers that prevent fading, drying and cracking of interior plastics and rubber while shine-enhancing polymers restore the glossy new look of the interior plastic. There are four scents in the range—Outdoor Fresh, New Car, Berry Blast and Caribbean Coconut.
