Bringing white sun faded plastic up

[Turks]

I know it’s not a car. Has anyone any ideas how to bring this plastic up white again? I got it a bit whiter but would like it better. Thanks in advance.

Anyone else follow YouTuber AvE? Appears to be some kind of hair product.

Wife is a hairdresser that's creme peroxide. Think it's £3/4 in Sally's Salon Services, don't need a trade card

Edit: 40Vol like in the video is 12% creme peroxide

It's known as Autobrite - can refresh old games consoles and stuff. If you google it you'll see some guides on how to do it and what to use. Basically just the above hair products and plastic bags coupled with sunlight.

I’d mask that up and give it a dust with Halfords matte white out of a chucka chukka tin. Leave it perfect.

Even give it a coat with plasti dip.

Google "Retr0bright", it's peroxide as mentioned above, but you'll get tons of guides.

What did you do in the end?

Any suggestions what would work on these? I assume a trim restorer is only ever a temporary fix and not long term cure?

Can you hit plastic with a buff?

 

[richie_mck]

I used a buff on a faded pedal tractor and ruined it more, would not recommend.

I would suggest a heat gun

The last time I used a heat gun on plastic was the grill of my father in laws defender, and it burnt it .

will maybe give this a go anyway, cheers.

I buffed the boys Deere tractor which was faded and it came up alright but faded again after about a fortnight

Have you considered carbon fibre dipping?

@Lyons i give up on them in the end to be honest.
