DIY: Black Plastic Restoration
Collapse

I used the boiled linseed oil and paint thinner and it totally restored the plastic. the vents under the wipers were grey, darn near white and they now look brand new, one application and wipe it off. I did the side trim, front grille, all of the plastics in the engine bay, unreal.

I did this with a window breaker button and it looked new. That was 3 months ago. It still looks new.

Thanks for the update, looks like a great plastic treatment that will hold up for a while.

Over two years later, havent reapplied the mixture since. Still looks pretty good. :) Probably could be reapplied again after this long.

Tri Sodium Phosphate (T.S.P.) also works well as a cleaner to get all of the waxes and mold release agent off I will post some pics when Im done with mine.

Yeah, it must be a different plastic. Or maybe the UV. Still I appreciate the post, it was worth a shot.
