Black bumper refurb

Featured Replies

Can anyone help me with a suggestion of a product that brings back to life a faded black bumper, Back to Black isn’t up to it! Thanks😁

When you say Back to Black doesn't work. 

Does the plastic you mention look like new when it's wet as opposed to still looking faded? 

If so, then a good trim restorer or coating like Gtechniq C4.

Thank you for your advice. 😁

Peanut butter (genuinely).

Linseed oil.

A heatgun and patience.

I have heard black shoe polish works, but never tried it myself.

Thanks, I’ve tried the shoe polish that comes in the stick with the little sponge at the end and it does nothing but might try a tin of the boot polish😄 It’s just in a few places, it’s kind of grey/light grey almost like the plastic has been stretched lol

Any of the options listed by Jamie really. 

 

Plastic bumpers require maintenance like this, so it will need repeating. There's no magic 'do & forget' solution.

Thanks 👍

Endurance gel for tyres by megiuars gives you an immediate wet look.

 

Heat gun method works however you will have the same problem in a few months.

 

Gtechniq apparently has the best plastic restorer , ive always found colour coding the cheapest option long term.
