A process for imparting to a new plastic article, initially, or for restoring to an old plastic article, a lustre or sheen to enhance its appearance. The process includes various cleansing and surface treating operations to prepare the articles for a final chemical treatment which consists in subjecting them to a vaporized solvent for the plastic of the article which will cause the plastic at the surface thereof to flow and fill in any scratches or voids thereby imparting to the articles a high lustre, gloss or sheen and to thereby greatly improve the physical character and the appearance of such surface.
