He's showing you a much less expensive way to shine up plastic parts. You can use Dakota shine but it's $34.95 for a kit.. Boiled linseed oil is less than $11.00 a quart and and thinner is $11 for a quart. So for less than $25.00 you can make 64 oz of product. You can also use that boiled linseed oil on all of your wooden handled garden tools including wheelbarrows. Just sand it lightly and put on that boiled linseed oil. Boiled linseed oil dries faster than regular linseed oil. That's the difference. I remember when my Grandma decided to shine up Grandpa's car. She used boiled linseed oil and it's shining pretty good. Would have been better if she'd washed it first. Grandpa was really angry.
My pleasure! Mine was clear yes! Watered down and milky, that's definitely strange. I was happy to see Lowes had the plastic containers this time, so I could see the contents and know it wasn't leaking (like my last metal container).
No disrespect intended, but all I see is a better shine and no color change on the plastic parts. You can wipe on any kind of oil based product like that to get that shine. How about showing us how it works on something that's never had this applied to it before. Something that is obviously sun faded, especially red plastic that slowly turns pink and how long this treatment will last. But, that is the cleanest 20 year old mower I've ever seen👍
None taken! Comments always welcome! Yes, but remember, this is my mower that I keep inside, and it's not faded, maybe a little. I noted I originally saw this from another RU-vid person, and he DID have an old ATV fender he applied it too, and it worked brilliantly to bring out the color. I restored old lawnmowers for years, and this was my goto for restoring old seats, and faded plastic fenders/tanks etc. I unfortunately don't have anything that is faded enough to prove it any further than my mower :).
Hmm, I don’t know. You might try on a small area first and see. I think I tried it on an old lawnmower I restored. And if I recall correctly, it didn’t stay on the painted surfaces.
