I wouldn’t say it looks brand new… but it definitely looks better.

They make a sealer to use after to hold the shine. Clear plastic lacquer

Doing this pulls the oils that were deeper in the plastic towards the surface. And this generally only stays for about a week to a month. You can use ceramic coating for cars depending on what you have available to you instead. Cerakote works pretty well

Good quick fix.. but with no uv protection, it won't last and will be worse off next time around

You're just drawing the oils out of the plastic, and it will degrade faster. It will look nice for a couple weeks.

A lot of that damage will be just dirt and wear, but on top surfaces like this, I'd expect that a lot of it was UV damage that broke down the surface. Yes what you did renewed the surface, but your customer may be even happier if you clear coat it with something that provides UV protection. And that doesn't have to be an opaque paint. The better detailers and headlight restoration professionals apply a UV protection to theheadlight that helps the surface last nearly as long as the factory finish did, rather than leaving exposed the original plastic that will break down in a quarter the time, or less. For this I wouldn't suggest treating with a "diamond coat' system, as it's not a surface that your customer is going to follow up and re-treat, but if it's yours and you regularly wash down and treat all the scuff marks, perhaps it will be worth it to you.

The plastic is the same plastic that it was it won’t break down any faster . They don’t put a “surface uv protectant”on injection molded or vacuum formed plastics

Another thing you can do is use tire wet and it will make it look nice for a little while

It will fade back fast. Would be more permanent if you sanded primed and painted the parts

You can get better results with a heat gun.

Not to knock the video, it’s a good solution. However, that will only last for months, especially in comparison to paint.

Why ? When you heat it you’re just melting the sun bleached top “layer” if you will back into the better pigmented non dry rotted substrate as long as a substrate that hasn’t broken down it works
