I've noticed that my red tools are starting to turn black with stains, and while I usually wipe off the grease with baby wipes, the red color isn't coming back. Is there a trick or product that can help me restore them to that bright red look, like in the photos of pristine tool collections?

I've got to agree with the crowd—used tools show that you do work! But if you're after that pristine look, maybe consider some specialized cleaning products made for tools. Just keep in mind, if the stains are deep, they might not come out completely.
Honestly, the tools in those clean, glossy collections are often just for show. I think the more wear they have, the better! But if you're really wanting to brighten yours up, I recommend avoiding rubbing alcohol since it can dry out the plastic. WD-40 works wonders for cleaning without damaging them!
Yeah, I've heard that too! Just be careful, because sometimes those stains can be tough to remove.

True, some stains might just be permanent badges of honor from using them!
