Good idea! I saw a you tube show Autorestomod where they used a heat gun on interior plastic and it cleared up some of the faded areas on the plastic.

This works on exterior UN-PAINTED plastics as well...like the bumper cladding on Jeeps or Avalanches...if gnarly, run a torch across it really quick..just don't burn it!

This works as well on interior panels that have been lightly scratched or flexed and have that white discoloration.... lightly heating the panel with a torch gets the plastic to melt just enough to bring the color back out. Obviously be very careful.
