Restore the black on plastic on H2

[therron4ou]

I read a post on here yesterday somewhere about a product that restores the black on the plastic fenders that was highly recommended and it had a lot of good feedback. I can't find it now. Can anybody tell me what that product was. THanks!

Actually, there are couple other products that works really well on textured black plastic bumpers and parts.


1. Wizards Black Renew. Excellent cream type application that actually lasts.

2. Gatorback coating kit. Used on Avalanche and Escalade cladding and it is a permanent solution to faded textured black plastics.

Isn't the Gatorback stuff for grey though?

what did you guys do to prep the bumpers?
just wash, alcohol wipe, ????

I used the Griot's rubber/plastic cleaner prior to application.

Worked like a charm. Did mine many months ago, still looks great after lots of pressure washes and sun exposure.

[Olfart]

a good cleaning with water and alcohol did it for me

I did a denatured alchohol wipe down, the applied 2 coats with a foam brush like Olfart reccommended. Goes on very easy, its very thin.
There is along thread here some where with pics that I included.

Why did you guys go as far as using alchohol? I washed my truck and trim really well, waited for it to be totally dry then applied. I did get some spotting here and there on my front bumper though Just out of curiousity, has anyone used other Griots products? The price of everything is comparable to brands like Armor All and probably better quality, I've been eyeing up their leather products for my cracked drivers seat.

edit;
for what it's worth, I've done both bumpers and all the trim twice and probably have around half the bottle left.
