I've used a Mr Clean Magic Eraser to remove some scuffs on vinyl, and it seems to leave the vinyl a little duller. Anyone know anyway to get the viny back to its original shine? I don't want to clear coat it. Just wondering if there might be some cleaning or household item that gets it back to its original gloss?

As long as its not over anything painted, a little V Color thinner MIGHT get the shine back. I've tried to clean stuff up with Acetone, lost the gloss, then glossed it back up with V Color thinner before. Other than that, you could try a little spritz of clear coat, even though neither of those solutions is perfect (and both could lead to messing the finish up more).

Dullness aside, how the the Magic Eraser work for cleaning up the scuffs? I have a blue vinyl on vinyl scuff on my GID blank monster car that I'd love to safely remove.

I swear by the magic eraser. I've not used it on anything particularly shiny, so I can't speak to it's dulling qualities. On "raw" vinyl, it seems to work like a charm. Works pretty good on walls as well.

Yeah it works really well, just don't scrub too hard or may take off paint if the scuff is over paint.

Thanks for the tip Ricky, if only I could get V-color in the US, I wonder if other acrylic thinners would work?

I used a liquid called Novus #1 Plastic Clean and Shine. It works really well, doesn't get too glossy, but is great for restoring the shine in vinyl and plastic figures. It also is dust repellent.

Ahh sounds like that's what I need, thanks. I'm going to have to find some.

yeah, that stuff works wonders. i haven't tested it really on vinyl yet, but i use it on acrylic all the time and it's great. if you take a look here, amazon has it for really cheap and a nice 3pc package for any other uses you might need it for.

i personally got mine at tap plastics, however...i don't know if they're a store that's all throughout the US.

edit: nope, tap is pretty much just in california it seems, with a couple locations in oregon.
