Black plastic reviver?

[vivid white]

Hi all,

Just wondering whether there is a product which would be available from Halfords for putting life back into external black plastic trim?

For example: the aerial base, wiper arms?

Id like something that lasts and does revive the plastic rather than something that will just wash off.

Thanks
James

Best bet is to get it off the net dude, there will be far better products on there.

If you gonna get it from halfrauds try Auto Glym Bumper Care or Vinyl and rubber care.

Only reason i said halfords is so i could go and pick it up tomorrow as i have a spare day with no plans so i can give the Clio a clean.

theres stuff called "back to black" not sure if its through halfords. also apparently (don't laugh) peanut butter is supposed to work. though i have not confirmed that yet as i don't want dogs licking my car...

This is a permanent plastic restorer, only needs one aplication every 5-6 years.

if that really lasted that long I would be tempted to try it, I hate doing the front grilles

It does, not worth doing unless you have a garage or good weather though (i.e. dont do it in damp weather) It's very fussy aparently so wait untill your spring/summer detail

Valet Pro Dionysis is very good, last for 2-3 months before the fade starts to come back.

Auto glym tyre foam works excellent and is easy to apply to grilles!

We stock Dodo Juice Fantastic Plastic, which is a great new trim dressing product - it's really easy to use and far better than anything available in Halfords. We also stock Dodo Juice Supernatural Gloss Trim Sealant, which is extremely durable like the GTechniq.

I went for the Auto Glym Bumper Care in the end and it seems to do the trick pretty well but I will see how long it lasts.

Thanks for all the replies.

It'll probably streak when it rains... but let us know how you get on.

Megs Gold Class Trim Detailer is probably the best bet from Halfords.

Auto Finesse Revive is a good choice for when you next order.
