Help restoring faded plastic

[grungy]

i like car pro pearl. i often find a really beat finish looks dramatically better the next day after curing. lasts a good while too.

Just recently got some Perl from a co-worker (mjlinane) and mixed it 1:1 to test on tires and trim. So far I like the darkening effect after a day or two and it does not run like Megs hyper dressing. Seems to do better with multiple coats on tires and trim. Even did the engine bay - WOW! Next to try is Gyeon trim to make it last longer on the other vehicle.

Dear Accumulator,

I can`t decide if your use of accoronyms is completely out of control or if I`m just a really lame millennial....I assume the latter.

Love,
Matt (age 29)

No, no...change those assumptions

Heh heh...blame it entirely on my (comparatively elderly) self Part of my ridiculous post-count probably reflects the moments saved via acronyms/abbreviations, but that doesn`t make it right!

Let`s see...I can remember being 29, that`s when we got married!

BHB= Boar`s Hair Brush
UTTG+ = Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus

Eh, just wanted to try typing those out in their entirety...sheesh, too much work, back to BHB and UTTG+ Blame it on my advanced age (almost 58!).

YMMV = Your Mileage May Very - I guess it *is* a bit before [a 29yo`s] time.

Heh heh, I don`t even know which generation is supposed to know which catchphrases! I`m still talking about "handing out mimeographs" and "rolling down windows". I still use phrases like "dig", "feature", and "color me [whatver]..", still call certain guys "cats".

Owatrol Polytrol - the most effective remedy restoring black faded materials. The coating lasts up to one year.

I used the 303 Trim restorer. The trim wasn`t real faded. It did darken it to it`s original color. Can`t comment on color change on badly faded trim. But durability for a very reasonably priced product is incredible. It`s been over a year now and still going strong. The little bit I got on the door glass is still there as well lol. I didn`t bother removing it from the glass, I figured a couple weeks it would be gone.mnow I want to see how long it stays.

DaveT435- Huh, that *is* lasting a long time.

Would it clean off the glass easily if you wanted to bother? Wondering about if you got some on the paint....

Seriously. Who`s doing what these days.

haha... "Dig" is before my time, but I do use that one. I dig that word [pun].

Cats. haha. Yeah, I can`t find myself to use that one. I guess dogs came after cats. Though, spelled "dawgs"

Thanks for all the feedback. I used Solution Finish and so far really happy with results. Car is stored for the winter but had it out a few times as we are getting into spring here in Ontario.
