Hi
My wife has a 981 S and the seat mounted airbag covers on each seat are slowly turning white.
Can anyone advise on a suitable cleaning method please?
 
See photos. The rubbery airbag covers are going white and wondered what the best cleaning solution was and if it is a permanent fix.
Thanks

I think you’d be fine using any of the plastic/interior cleaners/polishes. Worse case, bumper/black trim gel and wipe over? I have similar problem on Z3 steering wheel. Every year it goes white.
Tried Autoglym just now and you can hopefully see a difference. Don’t use anything alcohol based.

Just needs some nourishment.

I've used Auto Finesse Revive on my old Boxster ones when they started to dry out.

You could use something like Nanolex Trim restorer too.

If youre careful you could try putting a bit of heat into them with a hairdryer, but not too much.

Trim dressing is the way to go I always though, 5 minute job and no need to do anything for another 6months +
