Just been looking at some suggestions on internet on this topic but wondering if anyone here has delved into it

I've got some old R/C cars like I used to have and one just bought has Injection molded body which seems to be crumbling in places, guess it's been stored somewhere poor like it's been in a shed and got hot and cold which destroys plastic etc

One thing guy says is put in boiling water for a bit or room temp water for a longer period, another soak in WD40, Baby Oil

Body is Yellow so don't want anything that will alter the colour just make the plastic more supple again

Some of the interior trim on my oldest car is the same also
