Restoring OT Scales

[bayouace]

Picked up this OT Senior, and I would like to restore the scales from this faded look. Mineral oil, paste wax, solvent? Looking for advice. Thanks.

The scales are Delrin plastic.
Mineral oil will do nothing.
Wax will make them shinier.
Solvent will dissolve them.

Makes sense.

Thanks! I will give the scales a good waxing.

Extended exposure to UV light will fade Delrin. I think I recall reading about someone using Fiebing's leather dye on Delrin, YMMV.
