How to make plastic shine after removing the stickers on it using cooking oil?

Question

After removing the stickers on some of the plastic materials using cooking oil, the plastic lose its shininess. How to I get that shininess back?

Answer 1

You can get all these crappy aerosols that say shine this, shine that..

Finding the right one is very difficult. I used to buy this creamy liquid from a chemical supplier.. It was amazing! It restored the plastic to its natural, factory looking shine. This was in South Africa and years ago..

So i found this.. (it is not my shop.. its just the only guy who has this stuff)

I found this after testing and trying ... 12 other sprays, miracle shines and what not. This is not exactly what i used in SA.. but it works well

• You generously spray the area with the shine(usually you will do the whole item or the whole side for even looking shine).. leave it for 5-15 minutes.
• using a kitchen towel (not toilet tissue) you will polish the area vigorously while removing excess
• Leave it for some more time.. up to hours. Use a microfibre cloth to finish off the polish.
• I have made many old, junk from the bin look like new again.. and nobody new the difference.
• Use some elbow grease..

The key is to find a silicone based solution. Good Luck
