Hi
can anyone recommend a good product to put the black back into dull bumpers and trim? ive bin looking but just wondered if anyone has used some

many thanks
 
It melts the top layer and restores it to new. Just keep the gun moving and about 2" away, you'll get the hang of it.

Have a practice on a scrap peice of plastic if you don't believe it.
 
Does this work on the handles? I heard about something like this but u gotta heat it then rub something in? cant remember what thou! Doh!!
 
No won't work on some handles as the plastic is different.

I did hear that smearing smooth peanut butter ( honestly ) on the bumper can replace the volitiles, but didn't try it.
 
I use a mixture of paint stripper and boiled linseed oil @ 40/60. Easily mixed and applied with a cloth

None of these back to black products and the like will bring it back as well as this or last as long. I used the Simonez stuff and it looked good for all of half an hour and started to fade as soon as it rained. Complete waste of money in my experience. With the above mixture she'll look strong for weeks at a time.

Only problem is you need to keep it off the paint.

I'd say use an airgun if you have the time and the dexterity. Give this a go if you want a product.

Probably the dearest one out there but also probably the best. Your trim will look brand new and it will last.
 
black boot polish, works a treat, works for ages. Use it as you would on a pair or shoes.
