    What can I put on the plastic bumper covers to protect them, you know the ones that are black especially on the rear?

    I just treat `em like paint- AIO, usually topped with P UPP, BFII, even SG. Sometimes even a (*NON*-staining) wax.

    Same answer. As long as it`s plastic, and not RUBBER, I just treat it like paint.



    If it`s (porous) rubber, you should probably use something like 303- some kind of external vinyl and rubber (ERV) dressing.

    If your car is "modern," (i.e., made in the past 20 years), then I may not be understanding your concern. But on my old jalopies, I`ve been happy with Griot`s Vinyl/Rubber Dressing, Z16 (named "Tire Dressing," but actually good on all rubber and vinyl), and (most recently) Mother`s Preserve. For plastics, I`ve been happy with AIO/SG.
