yea only so much heating you can do before the plastic starts to warp, generally its easier with either a wax which can be a bit pricy or some strange alternative like linseed oil or something simular.

People have even used penut butter before to restore it, esentially it was from the oil inside the peanut butter.

not the sort of thing to do to a slightly faded bumper - but the one on my "OLF" was taking the michael.

can yousee where the wax oil from the tailgate has protected the bumper, so to keep them black from new they need oiling protecting regularly

I used to use 'armor-all' spray on black plastic bumpers and they always looked ace,
it was good for all plastics inside and out - bumpers, dash and window seals

I'll give that a go now I've got the golf - if a) it's still available and b) the weather ever improves!!
