faded bumpers

[Jay]

With the weather being constantly hot and sunny here, will have to see what works best. 

Hush you! We had a flurry of snow in Oxford this morning.

Where about in SA are you?

I now live in Durban.  I grew up in Port Elizabeth.

I lived in Reading when I was in the UK, back in 2005.

used kiwi sponge job today. my rear bumper was sooo gray has gone black but went on abit streaky .thinks it needs another coat now its dried in .put it on the girlfriends corsa and went on great and looks well. expensive thou and i bet theres not alot left in the bottle

It does not have to be Kiwi, and 1 bottle is about £1 and you can get at least 2 coats out of 1 bottle. So first time you should use 1 bottle (both coats) then every... ohhhhh year or so apply another coat

squid a bottle that s**t cost me THINKS erm about 2.50 a go from morribobs

back on this topic, im gonna try the heat gun tomorrow, ill get some piccys up if i melt anythin

[gavL]

I've just been polishing with boot polish and its seeming to rebuild it

Just need to keep at it for a bit, heat guns can wreck the texture of the bumper!

[filthy]

Just use the cheapest cooking oil from the supermarket- all you have to do is replace the oils that have dried out from the plastic over the years- the veg oil soaks in, and give it 2 or 3 coats and it stays black for ever (nearly) 

Heat guns are pointless and risky...burnt paint anyone?

[russ-vdub]

i can assure ya that a heat gun dont burn the paint, i used one to try and removed those stooopid silver trims foils and the paint was absolutely fine just incase anyone was wondering
