  1. My guess is the clear will do it’s job, and prevent much of the oil from penetrating, maybe that’s why most folks add the paint thinner to cut through whatever protectant maybe in place. As good as yours looks, I would definitely spot test it. In what I have seen you may get best results with the red…
  2. Your determination is not in short supply! The tan and red both look miles better than before. I ended up (so far) trying 60/40 paint thinner and boiled Linseed oil mixture and have applied several coats(4-6). It did a good job of removing some of the staining and it did help to begin to bring out the original color, to an extent. I should post some pictures but certainly, the results I obtained are not as good as yours. You may want to give the thinner/oil a shot, and see if that makes it even better, several folks online have suggested. Thanks for breaking down your process, I know now what my next steps will likely be.
  3. I am all ears. I will tell you since my original post I have experimented with one of those headlight restoration products with decent results. But I think it could be better.
  4. Just began light rehab on Fourtrax 2x4 that’s been in storage for some time. Rusty tank, paint sheeting off rims. But what pointed me to this forum was my web search for clear coating dull tan plastics! If there’s even such a thing? Anyway. I’m glad to be here, I am human. I come in peace.
