Plastic trims look dull and faded

Featured Replies

You know the little bits of plastics trims around the outside of my car, like the bump strips, splitter, mudguards and even the plastic seals around the windows. They all seem really faded and dull, anything I can do to restore them?

Cheers!

maybe try back to black

My little brother (detailing freak) told me to use peanut oil (groundnut oil)

It works a treat!

Awesome stuff and cheaper than b2b.

B2B or peanut oil.....tough choice lmaoooo! Thanks will give em a go!

i know peanut oil sounds stupid but no shit it will blow you away with how much better than back to black it actually is! Pop down tesco now (open til 10) and pick some up for a couple of quid!

Try linseed oil. Like 2 quid from B and Q!! Works really well.

I ve got loads of linseed oil, passionate cricketer :D

Defo will give it a go!

:thumbsup:

Thanks

Also you can go over plastic things with a hot air gun to make them look blacker. Might want to remove them from the car if possible. This method will last longer than oil or b2b will.
