Re: Hello from Stourbridge Yep they are a rather patchy faded looking grey, just tried all my trim cleaning stuff that I've got, and they don't look much better. Wondering if that back to grey stuff that they sell in Halfords will do the trick?.

Re: Hello from Stourbridge Not tried it myself, but I'm told that the trade use a hot air gun (paint stripper) to bring the colour back. Apparently, it should be held a couple of inches from the plastic and moved rapidly with the same motion you would use to spray paint. It's a permanent solution apparently.

Re: Hello from Stourbridge Thanks for all your reply's, if it stays dry I think I may have a go with a heat gun in the morning, plenty of vids on youtube, fingers crossed.
Edit, Now I know this sounds stupid but I've just seen a vid of a guy using smooth peanut butter on his faded bumpers, and to my surprise it really does work. I've just done a small patch and it has come up like new, all for the price a pot of smooth peanut butter. Yippeeeee...*laughs*
