Sun faded plastic colour restoration

[KTM21]

I saw a video on youtube about restoring colour to plastic parts that have faded due to sun exposure and thought I'd give it a go. One piece on my bike was really badly faded. I used a stanley knife blade to scrape away the faded top layer of plastic and you get to the coloured plastic underneath. It was quite easy actually.

I just tried a little bit to see if it would make a difference

 

Realised it was working so I decided to do the whole thing

 

There was a couple of spots I couldn't get to with the blade so I had to finish it with some t-cut

 

The t-cut got rid of a lot of marks as well and made it much better

 

It's still not perfect but it's much better than it was.

T-Cut followed by a decent plastic polish works best.

I used Autoglym glass cutter on the screen of the Goldwing which was ridiculously badly hazed and oxidised. Cleaned up a treat.
