Default Grey plastic bumpers

Hi,

Ive had to valet a m8s ford connect van and the bumpers and arches are that horrible grey colour nad have gone a bit milky in place. Tried some trim cleaner and didnt touch it. Any ideas whats best to use on these to get them like new and will last?

I used Autoglym bumper and plastic trim restorer. Like a green jel.

This brought them back to like new and lasted will - alot better than any spray back to black rubbish and without the residue.

I found if used before polishing, it also stopped the polish sticking to the bumpers.
