Anyone restore their exterior plastics? My charge port door came “faded” from Porsche and recently I had a clay wax done on my car and the plastics look terrible. I was wondering if anyone had any products they’ve used to restore the plastic parts.

Second vote for 303. Can easily buy on Amazon. I like it because it doesn't produce a shiny finish that many other products have.

It even takes out small scratches! I think it can restore that discolouration on your car no problem

Don’t worry
I don’t think it’s ‘faded’
Car is too new.
Just wax on the plastic.
You need a different valet guy for the waxing. They need to put it on the paint only and keep it off or get it off the plastic.
The wax residue comes off the plastic perfectly with a simple pencil eraser. Videos on you tube.
I cleaned up the plastic on the teardrops around the headlights this way. It is that simple. No expensive products required!

I have to second (third) the wax residue theory. Try peanut butter or peanut oil. Both worked on my plastic wrapped Audi Allroad.
