Heat gun changes the texture back to original out the mould rather than masking the issue a liquid application does.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link

Will give it a try, though it didn't work on the red bit on the bonnet release.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys Like many I guess, the red release button on the seat belt receiver has faded to a patchy pink. Any tips and tricks to restore it?

POST 2Original post

An interesting question. An old school way of restoring faded black plastic exterior trim was to apply some heat with a hair dryer or hot air gun. You could try this (obviously being careful of surrounding leather, etc)

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

will give it a go with some before and afters

POST 5Original post

Gtechniq C4 Trim Restorer works on black plastic (and pretty much everything else) presume therefore it would also work on red plastic...

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Interesting. I have the carpro dlux (similar product) in the garage. May try that too.

POST 7Original post

Any liquids will probably wear off pretty quick if the buttons getting pressed a lot. Heat gun changes the texture back to original out the mould rather than masking the issue a liquid application does.

POST 8Original post

A heat gun and an old plastic interior part... what could possibly go wrong!

POST 10Original post

On mine the pink is just a bit of oxidisation rub your finger nail on it and it comes back bright red.

POST 11Original post

... in which case, maybe compound polish would work. Will give it a try, though it didn't work on the red bit on the bonnet release.
