althoug I belive the inside plastic is diferent, but no harm to try on a "hidden" part

Aren't those bumpers the grey version?

I've used boiled linseed on my exterior plastic, works a treat once it dries

Yes they are the grey version, I've thought about the linseed oil but since the weather gets very hot down here I didn't want to have to do it every couple of years.

Does a good job considering they were grey.

I did mine in linseed in October last year, still look good

Has anyone got any suggestions for cleaning the black plastic in the boot area?

I have a large dog and the back is always getting dirty, i have tried all sorts to get it to look half descent, but nothing seems to work.

With this post, and my own dogs in mind, I had a go at mine today. Cockpit Shine did the trick nicely.

Cheers i'll give that a try.

I have a 11 stone Akita, when he jumps in the back muddy it always splashes up the sides. When i try and clean them they still look dirty and faded.
Have a boot liner from a 3 door, but it only has 6 inch sides

Hi i dont know if this will help you but as I tried black boot/shoe polish as the plastic fades and turns grey. I have used the sponge boot polish on the bumpers wheel arches and exterior plastics etc and they come up a treat wipe on allow to dry a little but not completly and rub off any excess its cheap and looks good.

Works for me too

akitas are great dogs, big, strong, loyal, very protective with the house and very kind around the kids.

knew a guy with an akita once, he never had any trouble with it for 4 years til one day it went for him and clamped it's jaws in to his skull dragging him round his garden.

it was put to sleep

Wayyyyy to small.

When he sits in the back the top of his head is close to the roof lining.
I bought the freelander for the dog, the back is his

was half wondering what do do with mine .. i've no dog .. but ..
a friend has asked me about getting involved with canine-rescue

reading this thread .. muddy paws and the like .. got me thinking ..
i've a 'commercial' hippo .. thought maybe a tent-like liner in the back might work
something that could be attached to the floor - sides - maybe roof ..
and that could be taken out and washed when needed ..

Absolute best solution to finish plastic off with, after cleaning. Bloody excellent stuff, use on clean tyres as well. Really takes back to origina colour -

(I don't buy these small containers, I get much larger ones without a spray and decant it).
