Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just wondering what recommendations people have for getting those old black plastic bumpers, flares and external trims back to a shiney finish??

Preferably some products that are non silicon based would be great as they just seem to get more dust and sh!t stuck to them.

Bee's Wax

Super Bike Shine from a dirt bike shop works really well on plastic and rubber and lasts a fair while.
Motul also make a similar product, but it has a strong orange scent to it. Also from bike shops that sell motul oils.

i have herd of a hair dyrer being used before

VHT vinyl dye.

I've seen someone use smooth peanut butter before. Use a cloth and rub it in, circular motion. Natural peanut oil apparently does the trick.

It works but attracts ant's. Bee's wax lasts longer and no ants.

I have this and looks good, but appears to be silicone based. Trying to steer away from these type ones.

I use an aerosol of Lanolin and a rag, brings all the raw plastics and rubbers up like new.. Lasts only a couple of weeks though.

heat gun!

Rip it off and build a steel bar, then paint it whenever you can't see yourself in it.

This stuff works REALLY well, and unlike most other options mentioned, lasts a long time and is easy to apply.

I used it on all the external plastics on the landie and it has lasted years in the sun.

The best one I have heard of is "Forever Black". I actually bought some over ebay from the US because it gets such a good rap. Seems okay.

I couldn't find a local stockist at the time but maybe there are some now.
