Armor All best to bring color back for plastic pieces?

[MyGeekDaddy]

Love my JT, but this has more plastic trim pieces than my last 3 vehicles combined.

I’d like to hear what everyone else does for bringing back the color of the plastic trim pieces - windshield spray nozzles, door handles, etc.

Always used Armor All in the past, but had fewer pieces to really stare at day in and day out.

This is the stuff you'll want to buy.... Or the smaller 15ML bottle.

It's a little pricey, but this stuff works amazing!

I had a 2016 Wrangler that was from Hawaii. The fenders and bumpers were really sun faded on it. Tried Mother's Back to Black and it didn't do much. Tried some Rust-olium Wipe New and it brought them back to almost brand new looking. You only get 1.5 ozs. for $12 but a VERY little bit goes along way. I did the Wrangler 3 times with the one bottle and was very satisfied.

As mentioned, skip everything in a spray bottle and use C4. Period

KLASSE. Works great with a matte finish.

303 has worked well for me on my last couple JKs

Ive had good luck with "Forever Black" for trim pieces in the past. Its a plastic dye, rather than a paint or cleaner. Soaks into the plastic and dyes it black again. Clean the plastic piece well, mask off the surrounding area with blue tape, and use a microfiber roller or a foam brush to apply a few coats.

I washed my JT real good, getting the wheel wells clean so i can use CERAKOTE to see if it is as good as i have seen in some viedos.

Cerakote is the real deal. Just take your time and don't get it on paint.

I second 303. I use it on my soft top on 04 LJ and all rubber and plastic. Not as shiny as Armor All.

Did you spray it directly on the top and just spread it with a rag?

 

[SergioGmz]

Which is de 303 that you have used?

My JT is turning 3 years old on June, and this manner just turned a bigger deal now haha.

Had used Armor all on my previous TJ's on the 00s and 10s but was really shiny and messy, so wanted to update and know what are the best options nowadays for Plastics and Soft Top / Tonneau.

I use the protectant spray, just got another 32ounce bottle off Amazon which was on sale for $24

on my jk i used krylon fusion spray paint. its made for plastic. really worked great. i have also seen were people use a heat gun to slightly melt the surface to have a fresh top layer. it looks new but could be risky. i painted all my parts off the jeep

I use this stuff and love it. Less expensive than a lot of others and it works great. I will say it doesnt last FOREVER. But it looks awesome and doesnt leave a weird residue on the paint if you over spray a bit.
