I clattered one of mine against a tree branch last year, scratched and discoloured but cleaned up like new with T Cut.

Have you tried Astonish, and then rinsing with water.

I used Jiff or whatever it is called nowadays, bathroom cleaner. Worked well and removed scratches.

Sprayed mine with Plasticote primer then gloss finish,changed colour from black to white,they look very good but haven't proved durability yet

Some plastic pigments turn a mild yellow and no amount of cutting polish will fix it as its right through.

I’ve had mine painted as painted finish cleans up much better than the original plastic.

You could get them covered by a graphics company someone who letters company vans.

Hi I would try PVC solvent cleaner, the stuff PVC window fitters use. It is good to clean marks from white pvc and remove unset silicone sealer. I use it all the time at home.

UPVC restorer?

I wonder if removing that UV damage with a mild abrasive like CIF might leave them requiring a little extra protection, like a good wax product.

I'd run with this. Give them a good clean first and get a can of {insert colour here} spray paint for plastics...around a fiver off Fleabay.

I have silver coloured ones on our mirrors which clean off and buff just fine.
