Just got hold of some 1500-2500 W n D paper and it's already made a BIG difference. I've also just ordered a buffing drill attachment off ebay, so should be here soon so that I can finish it off.  :daumenhoch:

Clamp your drill to a bench or something and pass the seat under the mop. If you try and run the drill round the seat by hand it could easily slip and drag the chuck onto the seat.... Back to square one or worse  :-\

PRO THUNDER:
Thanks for the advise oldschoolace. :daumenhoch:

not sure if it will help at all I have restored black plastic on some of my motorbikes in the past if the plastic if faded you can buy plastic dye from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autobright-Restore-2-Black-Permanent-Dye-to-plastic-vinyl-rubber-and-mouldings-/331647914927?hash=item4d37c193af:g:zbgAAOxy4~BSTBO1

I think as mentioned below you will have to polish the plastic first but if it keeps that "white" faded look this stuff works well I think it "dyes" the plastic so puts the colour back into it ...

PRO THUNDER:
Well. I finally got round to sorting this seat out and getting it back to it's original shine.  I received a polishing kit from China to fit on to my drill.  This consisted of a buffing wheel and two foam wheel pads. From trial and error,  I found by using the foam pad I could bring back the shine on to the nose. You have to be careful not to apply to much pressure as the foam gets hot and can melt the plastic, but if you do it a little at a time with light even pressure it works as you can see from the pic below.  I'm well chuffed with the result, as it 100x better than before. And I removed most of the scratching.  Happy days. >:D  :bellend:
