Restoring faded grey plastic bumpers

[thetazjagman]

You can also look on AutoGeeks.com. They have an EXCELLENT product I have used on my 850 and for $12.95 it worked very well & very easy. It has a foam applicator and I also used a Q-tip for those hard to reach places such as around the mirrors and door handles.

Those are great! Your trim came out really nicely.

I have the black trim and when it began to fade I just bought some cans of black duplicolor that has a very light satin finish to it which pops in the sun. I did this about 10 months ago and the paint is holding up well even after washes.

Black shoe polish, apply as if your cleaning your shoes and buff up with a nice soft shoe brush, trim looks like new.
Kind regards

I used the forever black product and am very happy with the results on my 2004 v70. Makes the trim look sweet. Put it on 3 weeks ago we'll see how it holds up. Costs about $12.

The only thing I think that should be used is Forever Black and Showroom New. They are both dyes that last for years and are easy to apply.





I used the Forever Black because I wanted the black look over the dark grey look. I used it on both of my T-5R's. First the yellow sedan I had then the black wagon I now have.

Here is a pic of the yellow sedan about a year after:

Here are a couple of pictures of my wagon taken this morning. The bumpers were done 4 months ago, the trim was done about 11 months ago.
