(Ex) Black Plastic Trim - How To Get It Black Again ?

[OnlyMX5ives]

On my wife's XC90 it has more than its fair share of (now) grey exterior trim.

I have used Autoglym bumpercare in the past and that looks ok for a few days but then fades.

Following advice I tried boot polish and that looked good for 5 mins but as the sun dried it out its gone very patchy.

Apart from re painting it is there anything else I can try ?

I think I'll give used engine oil a miss... 4 kids milling around something covered in engine oil seems like a recipe for disaster.

I'll get my wife to dig her hairdrier out... the neighbours will think she's gone potty !

Ok I'll have to find my hot air gun - haven't used it for yrs so a full garage tidy up might be required first.
