Faded Bumper Plastics..

[Diceman]

Whats good for renewing the look to the bumper and other plastics that have faded. My door handles and wheel well trims are still perfect, but the bumper plastics have faded. Armorall does OK, but anyone used anything better?

back to black, do a search on it

Forever Black is another product. Lots of places carry it like AutoBarn, Amazon, etc.

I tried Mother's Back to Black product and it sucked.

I've never said that about any other Mother's product and I use a lot of them (billet, clay bar, wax, ect).

Do a search on here, one remedy is peanut oil but I've yet to try that. The official factory response is to use a product called Armardillo (sp?) with a one time appplication allowed under warranty. Still sucks that a 60K+ vehicle has trim fade issues this soon into it's product life.

I haven't noticed the trim fading as much as it did on the BMW's I once drove. They faded almost immediately. I think the trim on the H2 is pretty good in comparison.

I use mother's back to black, it works great. Seems like it will wash off after a wash or two though. But it does make the plastic look like new and it just wipes on. Very easy to use.

I tried this for its intended purpose - wax, and didn't care for it. BUT, it is the best stuff I've ever used on trim. Goes on very easily and needs little, if any, wiping afterwards. Plus, if you get any on the paint it's no big deal - just wipe it off.

POORBOYS TRIM RESTORER

The best thing I have found that works great is, Turtle Wax Professional Tire Dressing. It gives it a very deep wet shine look. And it last for a long time.

I also use the Mothers Back to Black, when I use it I put some on at every washing.

But what happens if you get it on the paint or windows? I'm telling you - try the ICE.

Stop using ArmorAll, it has mineral spirits in it that will fade your plastics. Why it's allowed to be on the market........

I had a Wrangler that got these white spots on the fenders (same type of material) because I didn't know any better. Now that I know, I will never use ArmorAll again.

I also use the ICE from Turtle Wax. Works good.
