It's a surface cleaner called wax and grease remover or paint prep (not two separate things) used to wipe down parts before applying paint so you don't get all those fish-eye's in your paint from wax, oils/grease, armor all etc. on the surfaces of anything you want to paint. You can get it in most auto parts stores.

Abilane swears that olive oil is the cat's meow. I've never heard of it, but she's my wife so I know she's never wrong!

There's a product in the auto parts stores call Back to Black.
It's a milky-white liquid (like Armour-all). Wipe it on, let it dry, buff it off. Works OK, if the plastic's not too far gone.

I've always had good luck with the Stoner line of products. They're affordable and work very well.

I am going to try the vaseline.

Any comments? It sounds so crazy it just might work.

Every other product i have tried is just crap.
