Fixing faded warflares

[SaddleUp]

After 1 1/2 years my Warflares are faded (oxidation). Does anyone have any tricks to clean them up without painting them? I don't want to paint them because my flares have a tendacy to get hit by trees too often and would look worse afterwards than they do now.

I have heard of a few guys doing this with heat guns. I am not sure what effect this will have on the pliability, but it seems to work well for making them look good again. This thread also mentions the 303 product.

Try wiping them down with Acetone and see if that helps any. We have a plastic boat I was repairing with fiberglass, and when I wiped it down with acetone before I layed in the fiberglass, it made it look like new again. May be worth a try?

There is a dye that you can buy online - I used it on my heep - works pretty well.
