    inexpensive vinyl/plastic restore

    just wanted to share this. I have had great luck restoring faded, worn, and even some scratches on black plastic and/or vinyl, not sure exactly what the material is, maybe someone who knows of this stuff can comment based on the pics.
    first I had rubbed surface with dupont rubbing compound and then applied a wax I had. I confess I was lazy with the wax it goes on and polishes easy. I suspect there might be better waxes but I was just detailing car for selling. I didn`t care how long the wax would last. but the nano stuff seemed to be ok. with the small many facted surfaces I didn`t want to worry about buffing a wax that dried to a haze. I thought this is an inexpensive alternative to all the specialty restore products and wonder if they can do a much better job.
