My Painted plastic door guards have seen better days. Faded and nasty looking. Used everything from speed glaze to AIO to bring back a little shine. Helped slightly, but I wonder if there is something else short of wet sanding and repainting to help out. Anyone have something they recommend?

Thank you!

Clean it with a brush and a water spot remover. Do a wipe down with IPA and apply Car Pro Dlux. Another option is Solution Finish.

Thanks Rsurfer. I was wondering about DLUX....I didn't realize it was safe for paint. The Guards are actually the same color as the vehicle. What exactly does the IPA wipe do, just remove contaminates?

I'm actually wondering if the paint is gone or just badly faded.

Why not just wrap it?, it would look really nice.

Looks like the clear is starting to flake.
