Wow. I've never seen someone else restoring plastic by using vegetable oil. I've used mom's cooking oil to revive old plastic since I was a kid. It works well on hazy acrylic also.

I'm guessing mineral oil would be better for this application, as it is petroleum based instead of vegetable based. The plastic will likely accept it better and additionally, vegetable oil tends to get gummy over time which might cause issues.

I've used transmission fluid and get decent results. I've also used a torch but that might be mainly for abs plastic. This turned out not to bad in the end. The UV appears to actually eat the plastic

Jesus Christ... Steel wool. Just take an angle grinder to it. If you're going to use the wrong tool, you might as well use it like a boss.

I new what you meant. Saw your KW W900 on your channel. I did one up as well using that same kit, only with some mods.

I have used a pressure washer on larger items from around the yard, such as lawn furniture and plastic garden cupboard. As long as you take your time and are careful, the finish comes out pretty nice. I was able to remove just the oxidation and not make too big of a mess of it. After the high pressure cleaning I used some good ole WD-40 to wipe it down. Everything looked great. This method might not be that handy for such small stuff tho. I liked your method of rehydration using the oil, I’m going to try that out next chance I get.
