Restore weathered plastic

[John Ford]

I recently bought a q320 with a full propane tank for $75
has been outside uncovered & while mechanically it’s fine ( replaced igniter ) it’s weathered.
when the weather warms I’m painting lid with Red caliber paint .
Any suggestions for making the plastic part of cart look better.

Clean up the plastic with a good grease cutting cleaner. Then use a good automotive vinyl protectant on it. It will come back to new looking. I use Aerospace 303 protectant. It doesn't leave a greasy film and it has very good UV protection properties.

Paint it with one of those and you won't have to worry about the plastic parts any more.

I use Boiled Linseed Oil and Paint thinner at a 50/50 mix. Holds up well.

Kyle,
When things warm up I want to try that idea. Do you just buy the Boiled Linseed Oil? If so, where?

Should be near the paint thinner at Home Depot

I use the boiled linseed oil too. Cheap and easy and I already had it for the slate hearth
