What did you use on the bumper plastics. I bought a blacK one a few weeks ago and this sort of condition is my aim. Top work.

Isn't the old heater gun the best way of renewing the plastic still? I know it's a b!tch but doesn't it bring the oils back to the surface.

And back on topic. Looks sweet with the fresh paint.

These are always the best ones. People buy 'Run arounds' and then get hooked! :evil:
