Plastic starting to fade, how can I get the color back?

abramztnk:
I had a 99 CR 250 that had black plastic on it.  When it was time to send her to a new home(2008), I cleaned her up really good and though she'd been stored inside, the black plastic looked a little dull.  I used Formula 2001 car polish, Formula 2001 Protectant and a wool sock. 

Put the protectant on first, let dry and then buff with the wool sock.  Repeat with the creamy car polish, then one more coat with the protectant.  It shined like a new penny.  Didn't cost anything because I had both products on-hand.  I repeated the process on my son's KX 65 with the same result.

When I got my 01 kx 250 it was dingy, oily, and a bit faded. I cleaned it with acetone, removed all the big scratches with a razor blade and polished them with mop&glow. It worked really well. I put new griffix on it, its like a million bucks. No one can believe it is an 01. Try it. It works.

U can use a heat gun or a torch with indirect flame just go at it easy and it should turn out good!

Go for the PC racing plastic renew kit and scrape the worst area with a carpent knife.
