Many of you probably already know about this but for those who dont.

Use a propane torch at low heat and run it across the plastic, careful not to get to close.

I was amazed at the results.........looks like new!

Reheats it and bring all the oils back to the surface, wanna make it last, take some low grit polishing compound on a buffer wheel and buff it out then wax it. It will look like it just came out of the mold.
