    Faded Bumpers

    I have a regular job scheduled for an '07 Jeep. The paint and interior are easy, however the bumpers are always a hassle. They are super faded. I've used various CG products and have even tried NuFinish on this vehicle and I can't seem to get the bumpers to look uniform in color. Anyone have a secret product that they use that works?

    Are you talking about the black plastic?

    Yes. On another forum they mentioned using either a heat gun or a torch (not gonna happen) to bring the black back.

    I like Bondo restore black. Works good on my Jeeps. What kind of Jeep? Heat gun does work, never tried it and like you, I don't know if I would lol.

    Solution Finish is the way to go, what ever you do do not use a heat gun

    It's a Wrangler, so you know, those black bumpers become gray very quickly.

    I'm concerned that the Bondo restore would be like ReNu (that's what I meant). It technically does what it says (makes the trim darker) but doesn't help when there are different levels of fade on the trim which leaves splotches.

    Black Wow is amazing. I just did a FJ Cruiser which has a ton of black trim. Def recommended!
