Faded black plastic

[matttr6]

Seems to me Renault have a problem with black plastic fading to grey. Just washed my car this morning (05 Inferno 182) and noticed this fading on the headlight washers, round the mirrors and where they attach to ther door, and the front splitter and fog surrounds. Now I've sprayed them with silicone spray and all is well. but I know this fix is very tempory.

Is there more of a long term solution without buying new bits?? (maybe a wax of some sort?)

Spray them black and laquer some people have, Thats long term.

Otherwise Auto Glym bumper care, For each wash.

WD40 on them brings them back to black iirc
never done it my self

They where never black black from the factory, always dark grey so bear that in mind.

Apply some heat gently from a heat gun and treat with Autoglym Bumper Care gel.
