Plastic Revival Anyone know of a product to use on plastic, to make it look new? Specifically the plastic cowling under the windshield wipers. Mine is all faded and I would like to make it look new. Armor All works for like a day, but there has to be something better.
Here is what I use on my customer's exterior trim, http://www.meguiars.com/?car-trim-mo...-Trim-Detailer
I went looking for pictures and I don't have any good ones for before or after but its what I use and it works pretty good.

I'll probably try it on my car though.

I've always used it on exterior stuff, like cowl panels, plastic door handles, door trim etc that turn chalky from the sun or wax residue. And unlike the expensive task specific dressings you can buy, this is a near permanent fix.
It's good to hear that it will last too.

For light scratches on your interior panels, just take a heat gun to it and wave it back and forth until the scratch disappears. Works every time, just be sure to not keep the heat stationary or it will ruin your panel.
