cleaning black plastic parts

[aerodorcho]

I just purchased my car and a few of the black plastic parts are a bit on the sun faded side. My side mirrors, the big thingy where the windshield wipers are, and the gauge bezel are all pretty flat black looking. What can I use to put some shine to these parts?

Lol..funny you say this...

I just polishes all my plastic black parts with my PC and some car polish...works wonders...

I would say get some polish and try it by hand...it should work...might take a while

replacement for what the switch holder?

 

[AHayes88]

Yeah my switch covers in terrible shape. The previous owner also did a great job at kicking the speaker covers so they're cracked. In fact I need a lot of interior parts, but I just don't know where to get them. I've checked places like 50resto but they don't sell what I need.

if its exterior paint like buper or trim on chevy trucks ive used black shoe polish with the sponge applicator, workes wicked good just becareful if you try this on your wiper cowl due to smearing on the winshield.
