Black plastic trim reconditioning.

[chipppa]

Hey folks i was wandering if there was a product that can be used to bring black plastic trim back to its former glory?

You are talking about the outside?
ArmourALL makes it look good for a short while, it collects dust though.
Seen "wet look" tyre shine, that could do the job as well, try on a mud flap possibly.

There are aerosol packs of special bumper paint for external plastics. I did my grill with it the other week, looks awesome. Only cost 20 a can, took 2 to get the finish I wanted.

Going to be doing this over Xmas holidays. Take off all the guards, plastic back bumpers and door trims and respray them.

I have seen a heat gun used on plastic bumper. YouTube it an check it out

silicon tyre shine works well from K-Mart $4 a tin,
what I'd like to know how you get polish out of the black bits?
even tried the carwash jet up close, no go, thinking CRC and a tooth brush

Yup agree with TD here. The silicone spray has the best effect, but collects dust a bit. Works awesome as a tyre shine as well. Make surface very slippery so do not use on side steps or the black trim above the rear bumper that you might stand on (yes i'm talking from experience). It can hurt...

Dubbin black shoe polish.

Spit n Polish (You actually dont use spit anymore. Water and a cotton ball gives the best results)

I tried the heat gun this morning on the plastic trims behind the rear passenger doors. It did something but not earth shattering.

Any updates on any product available for rear bumpers.????
