    Vaseline to enhance plastic grill

    I used Vaseline on my plastic grill, what an amazing difference. I would highly recommend it if you want to bring back to original colour richness.

    Re apply 2-3 times massage in with toothbrush fingers.
    I'll post pics once I figure out how to do.

    Apply it gently. Don't rub it in vigorously.

    I use lanolin all over. Paintwork comes up a treat.

    You might want to try baby oil (or similar) next time much easier to apply . I've used it on the hulls of boats before to enhance the appearance for selling. Just don't put it on the deck of a boat otherwise it becomes very slippery. Also really good on any rubber seals etc if you want to make them nice and shiny. Just use a cloth to wipe on and wipe off.

    If I tried that, the dog would lick the car clean! He loves peanut butter.
