Rozabikes Tim:
6 wheel amphibious tub thingy. Only know that now because I watched it too. The one they did was bought by a group supporting Ukraine where it now lives!

I watched that👍. Does using a heat gun cause the plastic to go brittle in the long term?
davidcumbria:
Motorex protect and shine.recommended by triumph for black plastic. Looks great but needs repeat application.
Bryanj:
Dont know about brittle, but if the people who work on Argos all the time did it i would think it would be ok.
You have to be gentle with the heat and keep moving

Bike Spirits Spray Cleaner & Polish...
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Spirits-Cleaner-Polish-Aerosol/dp/B007KPX7HQ?th=1
Wash, dry and de-grease part, apply, let soak over night, wipe any excess off with lint free (cotton) fabric in the morning...
(lasts about a year on dark gray and black plastics before it washes off/faints due exposure... but re-application works effectively after the first over night treatment)
