@Loz posted some magical black trim restorer, I’ve got to ask but what has caused that?

Cheers all.

@Northern Monkey Ok I've got some organic extra nutty PB I'll try!

Mirror is a mixture of me thinking it was a good idea to try 'clear' plastic restorer kit I had lying around and inappropriate detailing products! Er no!

The front bumper is AG super gloss finish product - works great on paintwork, just don't touch the any plastic! Going to touch up and swap out for gloss when other jobs have been complete, seems easier to maintain. Matt plastic is a PITA.

Peanut butter works I wasn’t taking the pi$$
Not sure about chunky thought smooth definitely.

Vaseline should do the job ...or baby oil works a treat

Auto Glym Fast Glass works a treat on removing polish from plastics.

Fast glass is really useful, I do all my internal plastics with it and the kombi floor, leaves a nice oem finish on everything!

For treating the plastic I use megiars vinyl boat treatment, works great and is waterproof (obviously!)

It’s true disclaimer I will not be held responsible if you live in a densely populated area of squirrels and the van gets jacked by them

Gets thumb up from fellow van owners on amazon and it lasts it seems. Could be the winner!

I have also used it for colouring white plastic to black such as my solar controller remote display unit

Just ordered some, going to take back the AG bumper gel I grabbed from Halfords on the way back from work.

@xswind first coat on, looks good already. Going to go with three coats. Note to self wear some thin disposal gloves next time. Looks like I’ve been “working down pit”.

 

[xswind]

In my experience, it lasts and lasts

What products do people rate for keeping the exterior black plastics such as the grille and bumper trim clean and looking new.

This stuff is awsome.....
