Hi
Looking for the best way for reviving various white plastic parts in the engine bay such as those holding the flaps on the radiator cowling.
Don't have and probably can't justify an ultrasonic cleaner so is there any recommended solvents or processes to bring the white colour back?

I must say I get away with Murder when it comes to using the Dishwasher for cleaning parts.
I only do it when she's out!
She's not cottoned on yet
