whats the best stuff to use on black plastic bumpers,what to get the colour back into them

 

belive it or not if it faded and white bits from polish i use a hotair gun on them to bring the black back but keep the gun moving as if its left still for to long it melts them

 

really,a hot air gun.the wheels arch trims and the door strips also need a good seeing to,it lets a car down so much when they are gone grey

 

Pete this is what I use and it's the best I've ever used up to now mate...!

wow thats looks just what I need,where do I get it

 

I buy of eBay mate.

 

that looks the nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I use 'Vista' by Concept Chemicals at work, its the best stuff i've come across personally, brings the colour back a treat. Its liquid to be applied with a small sponge or rag, and once its dried it wont attract dust because its not sticky, wont run after its got wet and lasts for weeks. Rub the excess off and you'll get a nice matt finish, or leave it to dry and it'll give a semi-shiny finish.

 

just ordered some mate from ultimate finsh £27.25 delivered,cheaper than e bay

 

I use Autoglym bumpercare, I normally don't use Autoglym stuff but the bumpercare stuff is great, and I have lots of expensive cleaning stuff so I've used alot of different types. It really bugs me when people paint plastic parts black!

 

Where you been looking..it comes to me at 75p cheaper.

 

e bay was £29 and few pence plus post,I just googled it and got iut at £27 delivered

 

I've been using Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel for a few years. Had the bottle for 4 years and I've hardly made a dent in it! There probably is better stuff out there but I'm not likely to run out for a long time

 

I have just started using Dodo Juice Fantastic Plastic

Whats it like, i was looking at that????

 

If you have any C4 left after you have done your trim you can use it on your wheels and paint ( wont have enough to cover the paint )

C4 C1 and C5 are the same product.

Ps if anybody needs any Gtechniq Products see http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/automotive_coatings

 

cheaper here

http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars...trim-restorer/

 

I think its really good leaves a nice satin natural look

Have a look at my Mazda RX8 thread i used it on the black plastic on the rear bumper

 

Autoglym bumper restorer for me, quick easy and lasts a good while and brings the plastic up like new, doesnt seem to grease up like a back to black rubbish, and creates a nice barrier to stop polish sticking.

 

Peanut butter. No joke

 

i second peanut butter, beats all the off the shelf products. Smooth peanut butter though! lol

 

FUCK OFF wth the peanut butter!!!!!!!!!!!..................PMSL........... ...

 

I bought some C1 ages ago and then bought more from the man himself Rob (very easy to talk too) at Gtechnique just used it for the first time. Amazingly its my 1st purposeful product for trim that i have bought.
This saxo has sat outside my house for nearly 2 years so far with a 50/50 . I,m more than impressed I used a solvent product to wipe clean pripor to applying C1 then washed and rinsed thoroughly afterwards.This is 1 layer and should do 12 months standing on its head.

 

gtechniq stuff is awesome,you can get a discount if your on detailing world.the c4 comes in at £20.81 with discount

 

Thanks for that yes i,m on there .

 

Just ordered some C4.........

 

Ice always used Autoglym, but pretty much run out, so was looking to see if there was anything better....
Is peanut butter really any good?! I'm assuming its the oil in it?

 

I used peanut butter once, I think it's revolting stuff so don't usually buy it. It definately works, I wouldn't say it's any better than any off the shelf trim dressing stuff, but is a fraction of the cost!

 

 

Think ill stick to peanut butter in my sandwiches!

 

poorboys natural look dressing is ment to be really good too, going to try that next i think
