What are you all using on faded black plastics

[allegro]

Want to give my bumper and door trims a little spruce but there are so many product out there now its hard to know what to go for. I definitely don't want to end up with a shiney finish. What are you all using that long lasting and has a finish akin to the original plastic?

I find most of those sort of the restorer products available are quite good.

i think the key is to make sure you wipe off any excess and it will have a light shine but soon fades.

Hybrid Solutions Graphene Acrylic Trim Restorer

dont have a before pic, but the bumpers were a very faded light grey after 15 years and 210K miles.

1 coat of turtlewax graphene trim restorer brought them back to life.

Autoglym Rubber and Vinyl Care.
Put it on a rag and rub it on rather than applying directly to the car as it is a bit greasy type liquid. Works a treat like most Autoglym products.

The ceramic treatments seem to last the longest but i have never used one to recommend.
Gtechnic C4 and Gyeon trim are two i have seen recommended a lot.

I've used Carpro Dlux which is absolutely brilliant, and semi-permanent. The likes of G Techniq C4 are the same. However, they are expensive and a little fiddly to apply.

Other ones I've used such as Autoglym Trim and Bumper Gel or Auto Finesse Revive look great when applied but don't last very long. On the other hand, dead easy to top up again.

Recommended this stuff several times, once a year at most to keep looking like new.

Clean thoroughly then rub in a light coat and leave. Half a litre for < 20 quid will last a very long time.

This. Don't waste your time or money on anything else

Used the GTechniq one, seems to last a couple of years minimum.

I recommend Owatrol, really long lasting, you simply wipe it on, its not one of these silicone shines that washes back off.
