Rub strips

[cup_66]

I've Done a search but couldnt find any thing,the strips along both sides on my door panels seem faded on my 172 cup(blue)is this a common thing?and what is the best way to restore them?thanks

Some AutoGlym vinyl and rubber care should fetch em up again if not, try some AG Bumper Care, scubbed on with a toothbrush.

Reason they look faded is Renault did not laquer them on the 172 Cup hence the odd matte look.

so is bumper care the best thing to use on these? i was thinking the same thing, show up water marks real bad

I would say so yes, because they are untreated plastic.

mine are the same.. one of the rear bits looks pretty terrible now, might have to try the bumper care & see what happens.. Knowing my luck it'll turn black!

Lol, the bumpercare stuff is green.

Painted plastic mate so treat it like paint!

That siad the AG bumper gel worked well on mine!

If youb take them off and take them to a local body shop they will laquer them up for a tenner a piece!

Job done
