Re: use motor oil on sunfaded plastics
That's an old-school trick right there.. it'll work if you're desperate but there are much, much better alternatives out there.

+1 It's an old school hack, that and transmission fluid. Used to see things like that quite often at auctions and not limited to just bumpers, entire cars looking greasy. |

Trans. fluid works on yellow headlights, but only for a little while. |

 i remember the trans fluid being smeared on by dealers at the auctions.
I remember looking at cars and telling other dealers that it's got trans issues and that's why it smells like trans fluid.

Re: use motor oil on sunfaded plastics
Guys
A marine plastic polish works wonders. Have 2 use 2000 or finer grit to "prep" the surface. Then use a good 3 step polish that you find in the "Marine" parts outlet.
