So many on the market, what is the best that is out there? More interested on how long between applications before it starts to fade/look scabby, than cost!

Smooth peanut butter

WD40 and a hairdryer.

This was recommended to me a couple years ago. It's so good that the manufacturers sell it in blank containers for other people to rebrand and resell.

I think this is the original therefore the cheapest and honestly it's amazing. Lasts about a month and takes plastic from being dull grey to dark black. If I had a before/after I would post it. Best there is just don't use too much...

303 Protectant is great. I use it on all the black plastic of my Jeep Wrangler.

Auto finesse revive is my go to

Several suggestions here: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Gtechniq C4

Do it once, do it right. Pricey per ml but it lasts and lasts.

This is the most cost effective and it lasts for months. It's not a joke post!

Apply a thin layer (rub it in a bit) and wait a few mins, then buff it off. The oils refresh the plastic.

No good if you have an allergy though.

Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer. Don't bother with anything else.

Or if you live in a squirrel infested area near woods like us... :-)

Linseed Oil - I knew this was going to be good as it smells exactly the same as auto smarts trim dressing “trim ultra”

[njw1]

Silicone spray works well, as I found out by accident....

I'm glad I've read this.

I looked up this product when cleaning my van up for sale. I thought it was pricey for the tiny bottle, but I bought it all the same.

I used it, but then someone came and purchased the van the next day, and I never got to see if the finish lasted!

This x a million, used it for years on all of my cars and it's absolute magic.

It also doubles up as a wheel protector (Gtechnic call it C5 but it's the same product)

[Summit_Detailing]

Gtechniq C4 is excellent as a long term restorer/protection coating.

Solution Finish is better for reviving/dyeing very degraded plastics with great durability compared to the off the shelf high street products.

cheers,

Chris
