Rejuvenating plastic.

Anyone know any good products to restore plastic trim?
I have some that is pretty badly faded.

Certain plastics will reach a certain temp and look like new again - I do it on some customers cars. Try with a heat gun but be careful, don't get too close or melt the plastic.

Armour all seems to make old plastic look good.


Don't know if it lasts though.

If it is faded or crazed ..... forget it as either the pigment is broken down or the polymer is degrading ........ all you can do is add a shiny appearance but that doesn't last too long.
any heating is just a band aid & exacerbates the thermal degradation ..... it cant be undone
