How do you make dull plastic shiny?

How to revive the color of plastics

To do this, we must first wash the bike thoroughly with soap and water. Then, if we want that shiny and glossy finish, we must wax the bike with a good specialized product. We recommend using the WD-40® Specialist® Motorbike Wax and Shine product.

Soft plastics: Use a cloth soaked in all-purpose cleaner. Go over the area a couple of times, remove the excess product with a dry cloth and let the plastics dry for an hour. Hard plastics: Clean the plastic with a cloth dampened in warm water and liquid soap and let it dry.

Opaque plastic, what is it used for?

The cleaning of opaque plastics is important for aesthetic and functional reasons. For example, if car headlights are opaque, they decrease visibility when driving at night, while it is quite unpleasant to use a drinking or blender glass made of opaque plastic. To clean it, you should use a mixture of soap and water. If that doesn’t help, you can soak it and clean it with a mixture of vinegar, baking soda and maybe a little water. For car headlights that are very dull, you may have to sand and polish the surface with a hand polisher.

How to make a plastic transparent

Soft plastics: Use a microfiber cloth soaked in rejuvenating liquid and rub in gentle circular motions. If the plastic of your dashboard is rough, apply the cleaner using a cotton towel since it adapts better to the surface and cleans with greater depth.

Engine compartment: This type of plastics are dirtier. Do the same as in the case of hard plastic, but when you apply the cleaner, leave it to act for at least five minutes. Make circular and soft movements, this way the product spreads better and you get to recover the original shine.

Soft, hard and engine compartment plastics: If once you have applied the rejuvenator you have not achieved sufficient shine, spread a thin layer of plastic wax with a chamois and rub gently to achieve a better result.
