As time goes the plastic and rubber part turn grey and groovy.
Anybody knows how to renovate ?

I use WD40 (or similar) :-)

I have also used a number of the specialised products, but found that there is hardly any difference, and the WD40 is always handy, as I often keep a little bottle in the car.

Ahh :-)
I was thinking of black shoeshine - as there would be black particles inside.

I've got a tube of something similar... it's called Black Crome. I don't remember who makes it but it's availble under that name in most car shops.

I used to use "lindolie", but it´s short lived. I just read about a guy trying to recondition his murena mirrors, soking his plastic and rubber parts in "armor all" whith really good results - aparantly he loved this stuff - but where to get it???
