Anyone else find it impossible to keep the H2's rear bumper clean and not faded? If you have found a cleaner that will help, I would appreciate the information.
Thanks

I cant remember the name I have used it in awhile I remember there was a spray on shiny stuff that hardened onto the plastic like a wax.. Used it on an old truck a few years ago it worked good.

It was at Pep Boys, just look for a plastic protectant with shine something.

Really, be careful of ArmourAll. It runs when wet and gets nasty. Hummm, sorta' like that..... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif I think a few posted silicon sealants work well.

This is the stuff Chevy specifies in a TSB on fading plastic on the Avalanche:

I haven't tried it, but it sounds like it would do the trick.

I used Turtle Wax Tire Wax, it is a very nice Tire Dressing that goes on easy and maintain a long-lasting, deep black color look. it also gives it a deep wet shine look. And it last for a long time on the plastic, you can go for mounts. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I've had pretty good results with Mother's Back To Black. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

The secret is to never put anything on them except for mild detergent in normal washing. Once you start with the armor-all and all the junk it just helps it fade as it breaks the heat seal down (where the plastic touched the metal mold it was made in).

I have a 2003 (built in 02) and it looks like the day I bought it with the exception of a couple dings and wrinkled leather seats.
