Think I need a new back to black type thing!

[Djw John]

Fair enough it is 2 weeks old but it doesnt look much different when its just been applied, seems to just not work as well as when I first got the car (3 years ago). Do I need to somehow strip the old stuff off, if so how? Or should I change from AG Bumper Care?

And my 1 other pic from today, just a quick clean and dry no polish or sealant or anything!

colour code it m8, u kno it makes sense

 

[Djw John]

Nope that aint ever getting done!

 

[Djw John]

Its been partially done, handles, fogs, spolier and mirrors were redone

 

[D"w!Z]

why not, itll look more modern in imo, i kno a place which does bumpers and spoiler for 180

 

[Djw John]

Cos it doesnt suit my blue imo anyway back to topic, what should I be using for the plastics?

Have you tried GT85?? It leaves a teflon coating on stuff and makes it shiny.

Dave, ive used that for years but not on plastics! Tons better than than wd40

MrBilly, that looks like it would be ideal, I'll keep an eye out for your pics, cheers

Black shoe polish is the best thing, get a high quality one..

AG bumper care has been good for me over the years, might try that stuff from carwashnwax tho

Never had a problem with AG Bumper Care either. Clean them back to bare Plastic with AG Motorcycle cleaner to strip off all the old and re-apply, worked wondrs on the black trim on my old 205 GTi. Over time this stuff just builds up.

I don't know if the plastics are the same on a Clio but my Chipsaway guy uses a heat gun (paint stripper type) on mk1 Corsa arches where they fade really badly.
He doesn't do anything major, just lightly covers the whole area until it darkens. Works a treat.

I use AG Vinyl & Rubber care and it works fine with a nice protection and it brings it back to back too.

The AG Vinyl and rubber gives a great Gloss, just a shame it doe not stand up to rain better.

AG Bumper Care, allowed to cure for an hour then topped with AG Vinyl and rubber works well to.

majority of tyre blackeners can really darken the plastics. The armor all ones are general a decent bet.
