Use what to polish/shine up Wild One plastic?

No that I've calmed down somewhat from the paint strip hooha, I am giving the car a scond chance.

The red plastic cage and balck body tub are dull.  What can I use to make them look shiney and healthy, that will not leave these parts oily?

 

Felt like writing "Help, Showdog!" ;-)   hoping for some of your top advice here!

 

Thanks []

Hi , there are various products to polish with ,but many of them can be aggressive on plastic .I have polished these black plastic tubs and other parts with T-cut scratch remover.This is a mild cutting polish for use on real cars with lacquer coatings on them .I would suggest that you thoroughly wash the plastic parts if you can ,then use the polish ,allow to dry ,then polish up with a soft cloth .I use this polish on my SRB radio tubs and alloy parts too.If you are very carefull you can use it to polish well coated paint , but beware , it can polish off your paint if you polish too hard or too much with it Another tip i have tried is to polish windshields etc with a very small amount of olive oil, it is very gentle but tends to remove some of the 'blooming' look []

I've always had success with Novus no.2 plastic cleaner.. recommended on this forum many moons ago.

 Although it can leave the plastic a little oily, Simple Green Magic is nice for maintenance to keep things fresh, its less of a restorer though.

Also, you can use silicon based spray to give it a really nice shiny look - works great on tyres too...
