Spyderco endura 4 dull scales

[Darkzeppelin]

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone had advise on how to bring my endura 4 scales back to the original color. I've had this knife for over a decade but the orange scales have become dull and not vibrant.
I was hoping there was an easy way to restore the color to the original scales. Any help would be awesome.

maybe a plastic type headlight type polish or even a toothpaste and toothbrush? making this up as ive never tried it.

I've used a magic eraser on pm2 scales with decent success. The g10 is a bit smoother than the endura's frn but might be worth a shot.

I was trying to figure out how to post photos.
Instead of the bright Hunter orange they used to be they are now a dull orange

Soap, water, a nail brush, and elbow grease.

Magic erasers work great, I did the scales on my Kizer Roach. Made the orange come back, nice and shiny.

It's a brand of dye that can be used on some knife scale materials.

Might try the little bottles of ceramic polish / coating car detailers use
I had heard this works on plastics , vinyl , headlights etc
