Putting a shine back on the plastic bits

[Oldgustaf]

Any suggestions for what product I should use to shine up the white plastic bits of the bodywork - especially the over cab area? It's a 2011 MH that we've had for 12 months. The white plastic has done very 'dull' and 'chalky'. Thanks.

You say "white plastic" but are you sure that it is not fibreglass, if it is it can be buffed with a light cut compound and then a good coat of wax should protect it.

Mr Sheen?. No Kidding,? I used it on the R-V which had a "Glass" type Gell coating, you could see the difference. Also "MER" works quite well too,

Forgive my ignorance (I've never been very good at cleaning vehicle body work), what do you mean by a 'compound'? The 'flat' areas are circled.

It’s a cutting paste to restore dull grip. Use a fine one. Not coarse, from your local motor factor or auto paint supplier

Picked up over time reading about this, do not be agressive with your use.
apparently the “shiny part“ of gps that dulls is very very thin.
maybe try on a ”hidden” small bit first?
