Big bumper
« on: 21 April 2013, 22:01 »
Hi.
Can anybody recommend a product to bring back bumpers to black and stay black for as long as possible.
I have tried auto glym but returns to faded grey.

Cheers Andy

I use black wow. Lasts about 3 months and then need's re-applying.


Nothing seems to last long from what I've read, linseed oils, hot air gun (which I'm told over a long period knackers the plastic) back to black etc etc.

Degrease with strong degreaser and then go over it with some bodyshop panel wipe for a deep clean.
Evenly heatgun and then apply Carpro Dlux or Gtech

Nothing that lasts longer than 3 months?

As this one is 'best', does it last longer than 3 months of daily use?
