Phase 1 black bumpers.

[GT Josh]

So I've searched the threads and can't really find any definate answer for how to treat the sun bleached bumpers on my Phase 1 to get them 'back to black'. Any suggestions?

Auto finese revive is very good, none of these are permanent solutions but this stuff seems to be pretty long lasting and some pro detailers recommend it highly.

Heat gun also works well ;) & then coat with peanut butter...

I'm not saying how I found this works but rub Vaseline onto them, leave it for 20mins then whipe off

G-techniq C4 is the other option. Very long lasting as it bonds on a molecular level but as such you need to know what you are doing as you can fu, make a mess of it.

C4 is all about the prep. Where Revive will go over a lot of things, C4 needs a perfectly clean surface with a IPA wipedown. It lasts for months and months though! :) but I noticed that if the plastics were too dry, it wouldn't bring the color right back. Maybe because it doesn't have any of the oils and stuff like the usual trim dressings?

And possibly more about protecting the finish than bringing it back. I have to admit I will be sticking with Revive, so good and so easy to use.

Same :) it's perfect on window rubbers and door seals too!
I wish they'd hurry up with their new waxes though, haha.
