Re: Lots of Love Needed (A Tall Order)
Slowly getting there, just doing a little every evening. Finished trimming the carpet and started refitting the console.
A before and after of the seat backs, all the plastics are faded like this.
need to refit the seats to help hold the carpet down along the doors.

Re: Lots of Love Needed (A Tall Order)
That’s come up well, Dave. What did you use to brighten that?
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not…

Re: Lots of Love Needed (A Tall Order)
They're just painted Stu, doubt there'd be anything that would bring the colour back. Ideally the whole interior needs replacing but I'm happy with how its turned out for now.

Re: Lots of Love Needed (A Tall Order)
Dave you can get paint for the interior, and if you send a sample they can make it to the colour.
I had some done for my dash years ago, if you want I can try and find out more

Re: Lots of Love Needed (A Tall Order)
Thanks Ali, it's just the hard plastics I'm painting atm. Most of the vinyl is okay apart from the back seat which is faded at the top but that'll need recovering at some point as it's starting to split.

Re: Lots of Love Needed (A Tall Order)
peanut butter will bring back the colour to plastic
sounds daft but the oil in it is somehow just right for getting into the oxidised surface and making it darken again
works on 1980s grey plastic bumpers
dunno how long the effect lasts
i found this

I would never thought of that, how do folk even discover this sort of thing
ahh well I've started so might as well carry on with what I'm doing so it all matches
Suppose then you'd have to stick an allergen warning on the car to avoid getting sued

Carpets in, plastics freshened up and I'm pleased with the result, looks so much better.

Re: Lots of Love Needed (A Tall Order)
Excellent! Did you use crunchy, or smooth in the end?
