Plastic radiator grille has gone a bit pale & washed out- from the sun
maybe?
Has anyone tried anything to rejuvenate it- perhaps something along the
lines of Armorall Matt?
Or perhaps just let us know what you tried that made it even worse...

Thanks all

I've had limited success with the spray on "back to black" stuff. Can't
remember the brand - it looks better than it did, but not as good as it
should...

Black Trim Wax.

You can get it from the likes of Motor World, it's about £6 a bottle but
works a treat. Have to use it about once a month though.
