Oxidized plastic/rubber fix?
My '05 GMC has had some serious sun exposure in its previous life. The mirrors, rear bumper, windshield seal, cowl area etc. all have that funky rainbow or white oxidized petroleum look. For now I have just put armorall on there to cover it. What can I do to rid the surfaces of this oxidation?

I know this sounds really stupid but you can hit your plastics with a heat gun to bring them back to black, and its free..... I have also heard of using peanut butter bc of the oils but I stick to a heat gun or a tire wet spray for my plastics - and I have an avalanche so its mostly plastic
Heat Gun - Lasts about a yr or so before you need to do it again

also found this stuff that I have been wating to try since it doesnt look greasy.
