I hope the Yaesu isnt telling a sad tale, but now ive cleaned the knobs its become apparent that it looks to have sat in the light for a while with the knobs in the same position. It wont be very noticeable when its back together but I cant unsee it.

Any suggestions for refreshing the plastic surfaces please

Ps Rimmel do a nice shade of red for the aluminium knobs
