Default completely restore the interior

I have an 01 camaro which has everything original in the inside, the seats do have wear on them but are not really torn, I bought a spare pair of ta seats I plan to re do and want all my plastics to look factory finish, whats the best way to make all the interior shiny and look like it just came out the factory showroom?

Also since I will be taking out all the seats the best way to clean the carpet and leave it brand spankling new ?

As far as carpet goes, if you have any old stains, try Folex. That stuff works great. It got some soda/coffee stains out of my carpet that were there for years.

As far as plastic. No option except to buy ones in better condition. I have been through it.

If you or anyone you know has a random orbital polisher get one of these, and about any good carpet cleaner and it will come out amazing.

As for plastic, clean it really well with simple green, then apply black magic interior protectant shine spray **** and call it a day. The stuff looks nice and glossy but dries nice and doesn't stay sticky like shitty armor all. Also will help put a little moisture in old plastic.

I know because I use it pretty regularly and my 02 with daily driver still has almost perfect interior(minus seat wear) and no dash or panel cracks. No UV shield either

I soak down the plastic with tire foam- then let it sit for a day or so. Wash with dish soap then use your preferred interior dressing

Aerospace 303 for the interior panels. Great sheen, without it looking greasy. UVB/UVA protectant too.
