Easily restore your plastic close to new!

:ack:I had some faded purple plastic on my 97 sp and tried just about everything to bring it back to color, cleaners, polishes, plastic polishes, steel wool, etc, etc. Finally after rubbing super fast and hard with a rag and some metal polish, (extremely mad & frustrated) a small round piece of the plastic came back to color. trying to do it again, it seemed as though it was the heat from the friction that brought it back. So.... I pulled out my heat gun and SHAZAM!:hurray:
10 mins with a heat gun and my plastic looks VERY close to new. I found that the color gets a little modeled, but for the most part, it looks AWESOME! Try it for yourselves and let me know what you think!

Just Heat

All you need to do is use the heat gun! Careful not to heat it up so much that you melt it.. My cover was a polypropolene type plastic,.. kinda like what a 5-gallon bucket is made out of. I don't know if this works on all plastics, but you'll just have to try it.
