Switch gear

#1 PostAuthor: Skid Mark » Thu Feb 17, 2022 7:37 pm

Back again!
Any suggestions on how I might freshen these up, RHS is similar but has a grubby white insert in the 'Pink' starter button. I don't want to paint them unless it is the last resort. I know there is a product for restoring PVC but not sure if it is effective or suitable on these parts?
Any ideas?

Rubbing ACF 50 corrosion prevention jollop into plastics like that will bring them back to life for very little effort. I don't think it'll make the red switch look like new but it'll help.
