I just got an email from Eastwood about Plastic Resurfacer, which is aerosol and permanent:

While most competitor products are only temporary solutions that sit on the surface, Eastwood's Plastic Resurfacer is a permanent repair. This resurfacer is not simply another plain paint or wipe-on coating, it gets deep within the plastic to reflow the plastic and restore that factory finish look!



  • Passed 2500 hours of ASTM D4587 QUV testing
  • 7+ years of UV resistance
  • Not just a temporary fix, apply once and you're done
  • Warning: This is a potent product which reflows the plastic surface and adds back color that the sun has faded away, mask around all areas to be treated and follow all safety guidelines in instructions.


They have it bundled with Rubber Restore (which on the bottle says Rubber, Plastic and Vinyl Restore).

I don't know if these are new products or not, if anybody has used them, whether they are worth it, etc. I'd be a little leary about the Plastic Resurfacer because of its permanence and the fact that it's an aerosol, sounds a lot harder to use than say C4 or DLux, but results could be more permanent. Not exactly sure what "reflowing" the surface means.
 
Interesting. But I'll let someone else test it. Sounds like a pain to use and non-reversible
 
I was just watching the video and they took the parts off the vehicle to spray, which certainly helps with masking and overspray...unless you do it in the garage next to your car. Mike Phillips always talks about that how car guys always seem to have overspray on their cars from rattle-canning stuff in the garage.
 
It must have something in it to slightly melt the plastic surface, allow the new product to mix in, and then dry quickly..

Yeah, I would want to find a test plastic piece to try on to see what it does first..
Sounds like a great idea and Eastwood has been around for at least a Decade+that I know of, and they have never sold me junky stuff..

Anyone that gets overspray on a car is obviously not thinking about masking paper and tape, or plastic wrap and tape...
Its so much easier to mask first, thinking about what you are doing very closely, and then spraying anything...
And again, if you dont want a line of product anywhere, you have to Back Tape around the area...
