Rubber/plastic restorer...?

[The Seer]

The Monaro's plastic/rubber window fittings and surrounds are begining to show their age now. The colour has changed from it's darker original to that horrible shade of light grey and looks worn and somewhat discoloured.

I'm wondering if it's possible to get it back to the original colour or something like it?

Thanks.

I'm a big fan of AF Revive.

But nothing is as good C4.

For you, AF Revive. Once you are a bit more au fait with detailing processes, C4.

Can you get a fair bit of usage out of C4? As it comes in 25ml right?

For hard plastics AF Revive. I didn't find it worked all that well on the softer window runners on some cars but did on others.

I have a sample bottle of this also you can have

Cheers Dave! Much appreciated! What do reckon about this C4, have you used it?

 

[Yellow Dave]

Yeah great product but do you remember the C5 wheel armour? Same product and needs just as much prep for it to last. Not used it on the softer runners though

Boom.

Bouncer's #22 is also a decent trim dressing for most plastics. Not sure how well (if at all) it will restore blackness though.

I tried Poor Boy's stuff t'other week on the faded Corsa. Seemed to do a good job and is holding up well.

Heeeeeeeeello. Pm?

Christ James you get about. Your original sample has certainly done the rounds so far.

C4 works best only if your trim is really bad.

Discussion elsewhere today and the verdict was that it's not so effective on very old (Renault 5 GTT) bleached trim. Opinions?

 

[Adamm.]

Ill have a sample

Iirc, C4 will only work if the trim will go black with water.

 

[Yellow Dave]

define working best? as above if it will change colour under water then C4 will bring back the colour. But that is not all it does, as it has UV filters IIRC that will reduce the fade and also attack from heavy caustic cleaners over the years.

I still think revive should be turned to 95% of occasions.

Lol those were the other conclusions, that the C4 was possibly more about protection than reviving and as such I would be sticking with the AF product because it is so good and simple to use.
