Comanche County Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have a little xj project I'm working on. Guys, how would you restore the surface of these switches? I don't want to paint them and don't want to ruin them through trial and error...normally I wouldn't care but I'm gonna sell this one. I'm thinking there may be some solvent or solution that will make em shine again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebvance Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 What about that wipe new stuff from the comercials lol. I used it on my gf's headlights and it work surprisingly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Maybe a heat gun? Works on chalky flares and brings back the shine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 That heat gun trick might work. Id have to remove the switches though. Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92tanMJ Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 That heat gun trick might work. Id have to remove the switches though. Thanks for the tip! I was just going to recomend that. The plastic looks like its the same plastic they use for the flairs. :dunno: I think I would try the heat last..can't really turn back from that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 All I've ever used to redo black plastic is whatever oil I have handy ... fluid film, wd-40, 5w30 ... wipe on ... wait a minute ... wipe off. Seems to work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
