If you don't mind a more rugged/off-road textured look, you should try Speedtex which is a sprayable, polymer. Once coated the bumpers will be UV proof, scratch resistant and anti-bacterial. They will keep their colour and will be very easy to clean with nothing more than a jetwash. It can also be rollered or brushed on too 👌🏻

I sprayed mine with Autotek bedliner paint. Should last for a very long time, been on a year so far. About £10 a can though and I chose to use their plastic primer first as well.

When using boiled linseed oil you need to ratio about %20 alcohol so there is no sticky residue.

Nice Thanks - I imagine it would be similar to Linseed oil? But may well give it a try!.

The heat gun is the only one that actually works by bringing the oils back out from the plastic to the surface, thus it'll look the best over time. All the others are effectively surface treatments and will fade pretty quickly. For a quick surface treatment, silicone spray is possibly the cheapest and easiest to apply.

As an interim update, 3 months since they were done now and so far none stand out as significantly better. They all still look good.

Thanks for the tip - I've had a quick look and can't seem to find this, have you got a link at all?

Very interesting and I will be very interested to see the results. Just checked the price of Gtechniq C4 - gulp! £20'ish for just over a bumper coverage. Possibly £60 to do the whole van? Gulp x 2.

I know! Mine has loads of plastic so I reckon I would need 4 bottles. It does claim to last 2 years though. So we will see if you get what you pay for! To be fair the effect was very good and it was pretty amazing to see what a difference just a few drops of the stuff made.

Can you shows the after few weeks result? It shd be different. Using heat gun more prolongs the results if not mistaken. But you shd perform some coating after using hot gun.😊

Its the long term effect that matters. Where is the follow up video link please? Also try furniture all, seen some great long term use of that on bumpers.

I didn't even watch the video but know the best I have used is Car Brites Nano wax. Door trims, window seals, everything. Buff in, buff off and done. Won't run and lasts a while

@ExploreVanUK

To be fair they have all held up pretty well. I'll give the van a wash in the next week or 2 and get an update video published with a conclusion

Don't try polish a turd, just remove the trim and raptor paint it. Dead simple, super effective and very durable, also cheaper than that tiny bottle of snakeoil 😜
