kayakertom Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Cleaned bumper and used Mothers' "Back to Black". Big improvement from 10 feet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKghandi Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I found seafoam works really well for bringing old plastic back to life. seafoam is pure petroleum and plastic is made from petroleum, it works well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj421 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I used that stuff a while ago. It worked well, but faded off shortly after. It didn't go back to how bad it was before, but it wasn't a nice black still. If you add another coat a couple weeks from now, and maybe another one a few weeks after that, it'll look great. I have since spray painted my bumpers with this stuff: It's stayed black ever since I put it on. You can pick up a can at Home Depot or Lowe's or another home improvement store for $5 or less. I definitely recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzle Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I bet VHT dye would work great for fading black bumpers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmashedGlass Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'd go with what JJ421 did, or even use Plasti-dip from a spray can (also available at Home Depot/Lowes). Never had satisfactory results with anything that claims to "restore" plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
