    restoring faded bumper plastic!

    Can't remember where i heard this but probably here but if your rear bumper lower bit is faded and white like mine was and no 'back to black' products touch it try using a heat gun on it. Honestly, i thought "this is botox" but after 10 minutes of careful heat gun action i have restored my back bumper to 'as new' condition

    Didn't get a 'before' picture cos never thought it would work but will try and post an 'after' pic tomorrow.

      It's true used this a couple of times myself, i don't think you can keep doing it if it fades again.

          Great!

          Unless you are like me and prone to reversing into things, in which case you will have a brand new bumper every couple of years....

          Cheers,
