Restoring black plastic door handles

I found out on the net,how to restore your black door handle and mirrors,that overtime armorall has turned white. Good old peanut butter.Apply leave on 5 minutes or longer,and wash off.It lasted so far 4 washing,and 6 weeks. To expensive to try on tires. Makes everyones hands smell good too.Just kidding. Peanut Butter,the oils must be good for plastic,I might try peanut oil. Might be cheaper. Nate in TN P.S. Don't use if you expect someone in your car,with allergy to peanut butter.Be neat if a car jacker was allergic.

grease for a window regulator

This is about window regulators, specifically on my 1980 300SD (W116). The drivers side window regulator is broken, and MercedesSource has a new replacement for it, but no instructions available with the new part. After examining the broken regulator, I believe that a lack of grease (or lubricant) on the regulator slides contributed to the failure. Further, my other windows are moving slow or binding up, and I suspect that lack of lube is responsible for that slowness as well. Trouble is, I don't know what grease to use on the regulator mechanism. Grease isn't just grease. It's formulated to work at a certain temperature, under specific conditions, and I'd bet the grease on a window regulator is altogether different than wheel bearing grease, for instance.
