Great question! I have tried buffing them out carefully with a buffing wheel and using plastic rouge. That gets the gloss back but it still does not restore the color completely. Since it is always

Jerome, I have sanded, buffed, painted, and it depends on the condition of the part. If not really bad, it can be buffed, and the color will not be new, but looks very good. If really bad, sand with

The best I have seen was sprayed flat black and then given a coat of gloss urethane when dry. The end result looked close to the original plastic finish. Sorry I do not have more details as I was on

I used Amorall cleaner and a tooth brush to clean and then soaked in Amorall until it would not soak up anymore. The upper half looks almost as black as the lower half now. It looks good for now,I do

Shortly after buying my Chevy I cleaned all of its rubber surfaces with Armorall. It looked great immediately afterwards, but within a relatively short period the rubber looked very dried out and ha

I remember alot of folks associating Armorall with cracked dashes. I know my wife used it on her '77 Camaro and till the day we sold it, the dash was sticky. Almost as though it was softened. As you

The Mercedes Benz Club list posted a notice that Armor All has formaldihide in the composition, and that it is very hard on vinly and other plastics. I cann't confirm this but, I know that it does no

My experience with Armorall is that it looks shiney, but then attracts all the dust in the area. Another thing, don't try using it on motorcycle seats. The seat gets so slipery that one has a hard ti

Armorall and all other brands of vinal goo when dry clogs the poors in the vinal, thus it cannot breathe and dries out and cracks. my 2 cents Bill

That slippery feel on your motorcycle seat eventually gets replaced with a sticky feeling, so you actually have to peel your delicate little bottom off the seat. I definately would avoid anything I w

I have heard all the bad rumors about Armor All, but think they're getting a bad wrap. If you have ever looked at the dash pads in '69 Mustangs, I think 90% are cracked. I have been using Armor All o

Armorall is a bottled version of "plasticizer". This is the same stuff that is used to make plastics pliable to begin with. When your old dashboard begins to get "stiff" then crack, it's because the

I did mine by just cleaning and spaying satin polyurethane over the plastic, looks great and original. I would suggest if the color is still close when the plastic is wetted - you will love this meth
