Operation: How to regenerate and repair black plastics

In this video, we see some ways to repair plastics: the simplest method, but less durable, is WD-40, or dashboard renewer, which have a limited lifespan. Remember that in any case, the piece on which the application is to be made must always be well cleaned beforehand. If the plastic has white marks because it has been bent, then the only solution is to heat it with a high-temperature hairdryer. This way, the bending will disappear. It is also the best way to regenerate it in a durable way, as long as it does not have peeling but is only faded. If it has scratches and peeling, it must - after being well cleaned - be treated with specific plastic filler, then treated with very fine sandpaper, let's say 120 grit, to make it smooth. And then paint it with plastic adhesive paint, preferably applying a layer of rough paint first and then a smooth one for finishing. This way, the color will remain well adhered, and the piece will return as new.
