How we fixed the oxidation on our 400ltz fenders and plastics. Was super easy, we used simple items, here is the list of what's needed:
1.) Lacquer thinner (1 gallon)
2.) Paint thinner (1 quart)
3.) Boiled linseed oil (1 quart)
4.) A few pairs of rubber gloves
5.) Eye protection
6.) A good handful of rags
7.) Willing helpers or plenty of elbow grease
A well ventilated area is a must, do not do this in a confined space as the fumes get quite intense.
First clean the plastics and make sure they're dry. Apply lacquer thinner to a rag and begin scrubbing. I'd start in an inconspicuous area to make sure this works on yours before putting it all over. After you get it looking the way you want mix the paint thinner with the boiled linseed oil. 60% paint thinner to 40% linseed oil (you won't need much more than a cup of this). Wipe it on and wait until it starts drying then wipe it clean with a dry rag.
Not saying this is the best fix but for $20 it sounded a whole lot better than $900 for new plastics!
Thanks for watching and best of luck!

Damn that cleaned up nice! Wish I had known this trick when I first bought my tri Moto, the plastics on it were horrible and it took hours of scrubbing. Guess I’ll try this on the old blasters and see how they clean up.

The black is fungus growing in the gaps of the deteriorated plastic. I soaked mine in truck wash, left it overnight. Scrubbed with coarse plastic brush the pressure cleaned it. Treated with dashboard treatment.

Use brake cleaner on a buffer wheel on your drill. Then use the thinner/boiled linseed oil mix. The boiled linseed oil has dryers in it just like paint does. If you use raw linseed oil it will leave a slimy mess.

Use toothpaste and water just apply toothpaste to the headlights in a circular motion with a rag and let it sit for about 5min than use water and rag to remove in a circular motion like if your buffing the car
