Scabby Plastics

[Shaun1982]

Just wondered if any of you lots cars are suffering from dull,grey mirror bases, scabby wiper arms etc?

If so what have you done to solve it? I was thinking of painted the above items but using matte lacquer instead, don't really want gloss black base plates etc

I squirt WD 40 on a rag and work it in.

But its ony a temp thing.

Maguires do a good interior/exterior treatment very simular to Back to Black but a lot better.

I've always tried to stay away from treating exterior plastics, and interior coming to think of it.

Hate the shiny greasy look so I just wipe over mine with a leather lol.

If its doable & looks ok then painting would be a permanent solution

You have no problem with running with that? Years back when I used to be a valeter the dressing for plastics always used to run when It rained etc

Sorry its actually called Bumper care, but its quite old and that link is probably a new version.

 

On my last Saab i used it on the wing mirror housings and came up great. they were really grey.

 

I detail a bit, and polishes and other products get on those places.

Why can't car manufacturers make some that don't fade, not talking about the shiny badge type plastic either lol

If its for black plastics you can always use good old boot polish cheap as chips and works a treat
