Default Restoring Faded Plastic

I saw a few of you guys talking about this in a different thread so i though i would bring it to the attention of the whole crew..

We all know how mad it makes us when our plastic body parts fade and get white/milky.

Well my dad stumbled across this youtube video the other day and tried it on his f150 and it worked AMAZING.

Its the easiest most effective way to repair that faded plastic.

NOT ME IN THE VIDEO!!!!!!!

hm seems to work well, when I'm detailing I just use a silicon based dressing, does the same. But this seems like it must be more permanent

yeah when dad did it this weekend it basically made them brand new....


It almost melts the top layer restoring the original color.

It looked like he had brand new fender flaires with armoral on them

If you want to perserve the plastice with a good product that does NOT run i would get Poorboy's World Trim Restore. It workes great I use it every time i wash my truck and it keep all my exterior plastic and rubber looking brand new and it does NOT leave a glossy finish and it is NOT greasy
