Restoring faded plastic?

[saiper]

Can anyone recommend a product that I can use to restore the faded plastic and rubber on the exterior of my car? I occasionally use Back to Black, but it's effects are temporary at best. Is there anything else I can use that offers a more permanent solution?

I was considering painting the areas, but I'd rather avoid doing that if possible.

 

Cheers

Baby oil is pretty good and I've heard that peanut butter apparently is good, personally I like baby oil as it makes my hands soft and it smells nice :-)

Peanut Butter

 

I think I'll go the baby oil route, if only because my neighbours think I'm odd, and smearing peanut butter on my car might lead to me being sectioned.

I have some AutoGlym Bumper care which is pretty good

 

It contains cleaning agents so its better than just dressing the plastic.

 

I have tried the peanut butter once lol

Peanut butter works for removing stains from plastic trim.

 

GTechniq C4 for the trim. As for cleaning, an IPA wipe-down will suffice before C4.

 

The rubber will benefit from being "fed" periodically to keep it at it's best, so Einszett Gummi Pfledge for the rubber a couple of times a year.

Autoglym bumper gel is different class. Brilliant on the surronds around the mirrors and window pillars...
