black trim

after trying many products on my bumpers i am now using back for good made by spautopia. It dose what it says on the tin. So far has not washed off when cleaning or when the car is left out in the rain. Have a look.

Back For Good faded plastic car trim and bumper restorer

no good for me, it's marketed as the product for serious car enthusiasts.

I is always ****ing about !

(linseed oil, about a fraction of the price, think I paid £1.50 for 500ml, works wonders once or twice a year)

frontosa:

That stuff looked great until I scrolled down and saw the quantity and the price - Bejasus! I can't justify spending that amount.

As for Optimus P's suggestion of linseed oil - - well I never heard of that one before - I might even have a go on the under bumber areas which suffer most with me.

The product I use now is from the Sonax range - not too expensive, but perhaps not yet widely on sale in the UK. I buy it in Germany at half the UK price - however I found some on eBay:

They have some great restorer/cleaner for inside plastic and outside which doesn't wash off next week - matt and gloss. I use it maybe twice a year - makes a lovely job of the mirror backs which suffer in the summer especially.

I've also tried their engine spray type stuff - it stays super clean and shiny and makes it possible to rinse off road spray and greasiness with just a gentle hosing down.

Try WD-40...

I know it may sound a bit crazy, but its way better than any other trim restorer ive tried..

It lasts about 8-10 weeks, doesnt wash off in the rain or jet wash, and is only £1.50 for a giant tim from my local sunday market.... cheap as chips, and looks the business...

peanut butter is also used by some...

(try a search for willo juice, then brace yourself)

I used my heat gun to just melt the surface and it brought it up like new.
That were a year ago n it aint faded at all, go steady wi this specially round lights, fuel filler etc... I used a piece of card as a sheild

nice one newcyboots...was out with the wd40 freeing up a padlock and thought i'd try it on the beast whilst i was there, went on a piece of pi$$ and looks the dogs, has absolutely peed it down tonight so will see if its run tomoz lol
