Penetrol! Absolutely beautiful restoration of my 32 year old bumper to its full glory! Use a cloth to avoid streaking and wear a mask to avoid vapors. I put on three coats after each dried completely over a number of days. Really looks great after just one coat but I found three coats wearing rubber gloves made my bumpers look brand new! Wait a couple of days between coatings!

Coconut oil from Lidl's....couple of quid and works a treat. Plastics, window rubbers and faded paint.

I've used Sonax "Xtreme Kunstoff Gel" - "Xtreme Plastic Restorer Gel". It pretty much instantly improves faded/oxidised trim and plastics. Sonax also make a rubber restorer which is great for putting on rubber seals in the car, can greatly reduce wind noise if the seals are getting a bit tired.

Owatrol products have been a favorite in the marine world for a long time. Gelcoat restorer, deck oil, paint additive etc..

Hello, thanks for your tip. I tried WD40 with a micro fibre towel and it also worked out nice...

@richardhanmer 3 года назад

Have used it myself and it's great stuff. I think thin applications work well otherwise it can look a bit lacquer-like. Used in on a black roof box, little bits of door trim. AND also used it on a very faded gloss-painted front for which had turned very chalky. Probably worked best on old dry pain to give it a gloss look back.

@Brown969 3 года назад

Hey Tim, it's not a permanent solution, but mine lasted a couple years before it looked faded again. That van will be lovely to it's new owner!!

@TheRestorationCouple 3 года назад

Definitely doing a better job than the last stuff I used but like you say it’s probably worth a top up every now and then. 👍

@andythompson4346 3 года назад

Another shout for Cherry Blossom shoe/boot polish. Works a treat. I only hear of people saying avoid using heat on plastics as it weakens it and turns it brittle and makes it more prone to cracking.

@fritz4345 3 года назад

But what I am actually wondering about is, if these oils are doing anything to the plastics or are they just sitting very shiny on top of them?

@andycrask3531 3 года назад

Errm not sure I should admit this but I've uses kiwi liquid shoe polish it lasts about 6 months and two are just about enough to do a vivaro with two coats. Emptied them out into a takeaway tub and used a sash bruah to get into the nooks and crannies.

@RedlineRossi 3 года назад

Just ordered a tin, thanks.

@TevjaWeston 3 года назад

Cherry blossom liquid Black shoe polish works wonders. 2 coats and lasts for a couple of years. Keep the vids coming. Great work

@Mark-ez3bk 3 года назад

Great looking finish, would be interested to see the durability on it though. I have used Carpro PERL on the cars for a while with good results 👍

@mato1943 3 года назад

Issue of black plastics isnt getting it black but rather keeping it black for longer than 2 years so far best solution I have seen on youtube was using ceramic coating as it not only brings back the colour but sort of prilotects it for some time still re applications is nedded thou

@A6RXN 3 года назад

Heat gun needs to be REALLY close and it happens quick, quick enough to go from Nothing to melted - I hover my plastics I’ve the gas burners, 2/3 quick passes and they’re back to new 🤟🏻

@TheRestorationCouple 3 года назад

Yeah, the blow torch worked great on the other text but didn’t trust it near the paintwork! 😬

@A6RXN 3 года назад

@@TheRestorationCouple that’s why I pop the trims off, house smells lush after mind, along with cooking engine parts on the oven🤣👌🏻

I used vaseline on plastic garden chairs and they came up a treat. Not sure of the chemistry, but they looked good for about 12 months.

@googleuser4239 3 года назад

The same company do a great rusty metal treatment that can also be added to paint to act as a rust inhibitor and let's the paint flow better!

Auto Glym bumper and trim gel is amazing stuff, tip from a car dealer I know. Tried it on my van, amazing results. Clear gel, not coloured.

That stuff is really good but only lasts a month. The oils last over a year.

@RC-oi1gg 3 года назад

I recently purchased an old van and the bumpers etc. have faded significantly. They would certainly benefit from something like this. However I am also of the opinion you can't polish a turd. Perhaps pertena rather than mutton dressed as lamb would be better. Its an 09 plate and its been named the Silver Fox. Grey and old but still plenty in the tank!

Again, as previous comments - Black Kiwi Liquid shoe polish from Pound Shop £1 a bottle & it goes a long way, last good 6 months. Gives an excellent long lasting finish.

@TheRestorationCouple 3 года назад

Yes heard lots use that for black trim but no good for anything else like coloured plastics.
