    Vaseline - reminds me of a movie where Burt Reynolds was playing a politician and covered himself with Vaseline when he was going to meet a lady as he wanted to be nice and slippery for her. Forget the title of the movie, but it was hilarious.

      Interesting.
      Over the winter, I read a tip from Iconic Motorbikes (boutique buyer, seller, and restorer of vintage sportbikes / UJMs).They recommended coating faded plastic with petroleum jelly, letting it stand for a day or two then wiping it down.
      I slathered up some old faded parts this past Sunday as a test. They look pretty good so far.
