plastic bumper restoration, oil stain removal etc:

Hi hi guys.
Got the freelander all up and running now but am needing to put some effort into getting it presented right and the plastics outside are all dulled and off colour as well as the rear end having speckled oil staining from when the turbo gave out so my question is simply:

What's the best way to bring all this back up to a nice finish again???

Whilst on cleaning suject there are also an odd few marks on internal plastics although condition inside is very very good generally.. so same question relates.

Thanks for help, in advance

Oh my my.

Be ready for all sorts or recommendations.

Everything from Peanut Butter, WD40, Heat Guns, Linseed Oil - even 'Willo Juice' - you name it and that product has it's band of trusty followers.

As for me I would recommend the Mr Muscle multi surface detergent (the one in the orange spray bottle) and to restore the original colour I use Autoglym Bumper & Trim Gel.

Dont forget - it's Autoglym - AUTOGLYM

MUC-OFF

Designed for motorcycle fairings - getting chain oil etc. Ive used it for years on my bikes.
Brings alloys up really well but avoid the Land Rover badge in the middle of the wheel because it took the green out of mine.

I've used boiled linseed oil on mine and it seems to last about 3 months before it fades,lasts much longer than back to black etc but it does need a good 24 hours to dry otherwise it runs if it rains

Thanks guys.
And yes.. search button was broken. NOT.
Just thought i would throw in a quick question before heading outside for the day as didn't have much time and was going to hit this tomorrow if i can. Didn't expect to be back so early and now i am, i can search a bit deeper.
Feel free to throw any more suggestions in though. The more the merrier as they say.

I read somewhere willo juice is useful

I recommend Autoglym bumper care also, but I'm gonna borrow a heat gun soon and give that a bit of a go!

How does the heat gun thing work... if you cant clean it, melt it!!!!
Autoglym has come forth a few times now.. that's a good sign.

We're still waiting for the Peanut Butter enthusiasts - come on - where are you?

and for treating plastics

parently it is sposed to put the volitiles back into the plastic, but if you use the method i used it will do this itself
