When you are restoring a bike with Simplex parts, (like a super competition front derailleur or shifters) usually the plastic parts of these items has turned an aged "whitish" color, do you use any products such as Armor All, Tire Shine, or any oil to bring that plastic back to a new luster? If so, what works best and lasts the longest?

On the subject of list members honor, I have done several deals with list members including a recent long distance Craigslist deal with a Philadelphia guy, Charlie Young (thanks again Charlie) who I chose randomly from about 5 list volunteers, that all went beautifully. I have found list members to be honorable, OVERLY helpful, and a pleasure to deal with thus far after about 8 months as a list member. I think folks who are not behaving properly in our community should be outed and handled so we can continue to deal with each other without concern.
