2000 Mercedes SL500

Question

I have recently acquired a very nice condition Mercedes 2000 SL500. These cars are notorious for the plastic interior parts deteriorating due to the sun making them brittle. I have already replaced a couple of the parts and I am waiting for my two sun visor mirrors to come in at a cost of $125 each. Would heavy coats of VRT help to prevent the brittleness or does anyone have any suggestions on a product to preserve these interior plastic pieces.

Congrats on the R129! I currently have a 95 myself and she is a blast to drive. I understand your pain on the plastic parts, and the Leather conditioner will help, VRT can as well but it wont offer quite as much sun protection. Keep in mind as well that center HVAC surround is actually REAL wood not some plastic fake stuff so be careful when removing.
