Hi guys,

Looking for recommendations for the best product to clean and restore the factory look of the external plastics on my Couple. I'm talking about the wing mirror bases, rubber and plastic window surrounds, the whippy and aerial base etc. Want them looking the deep black they once looked. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris.
 
Finish solution. It's a dye rather than a coating like gtechniq.
Makes a big difference. It's getting some great reviews from detailers and is really easy to use.
 
I'm working through auto glym bumper restorer - found it usually has OK results and is easily obtainable. Not blown away by it so will be switching brand when done for a bit of variety.
 
You motivated me to try my bottle of finish solution on my z4 scuttle panel tonight and it was brilliant. I've tried other products on it including sealants in the past and they didn't touch it. It's a weird plastic.

Brilliant product.
 
Has anyone tried Solution Finish on the dash and other textured interior bits? Or think it would work ok?
 
this is great on all the plastics and rubbers

I know it says tyre dressing but its good on everything
 
Some people say boiled linseed oil (or boiled tung oil) is the best. Its an oil that polimerizes (so hardens after it penetrates the plastic)

I never tried it though. maybe I will sometimes.

Been recommended before, but when I tried to buy some it had been sold out everywhere!

Pleased to say that I've just bought two bottles from your link - many thanks!

Great choice Chris.

Just to show you how good of a choice it was, take a look at this for longevity.

Get the prep right and C4 will be unbeatable.

Its always sold out everywhere (Im not sure turtlewax make it any more) ... that seller seems to put up a few at a time. two bottles is probably enough for a decade so you should be set ...

Ive been using this for years on interior / ext rubbers & plastics / under bonnet & tyres
Its a great all round product at the price
 
Just ordered a couple of these via the link (maybe the last two?) I like to see a well stocked garage :P

I know this is an old thread but just in case anyone searches for best 'back to black' product...

My door mirror brackets had gone mid grey through age, after recommendations elsewhere I ordered some Valet Pro 'Black to the Future'
It's awesome stuff !! Mirror brackets are now jet black again, tyre walls look great and works on interior plastics too

Highly recommended :D
 
I've just done mine with Autoglym Plastic and Rubber Care, done a really good job on the mirror brackets!
Just sprayed some on a microfibre cloth and rubbed it in!
Had to do the plastic below windscreen 2 or 3 times to get decent finish!
