Peanut butter good result, I find a blow lamp works well on the bumpers and wheel arches ….. keep the blow lamp moving though. The plastic stays black for about 6months, doing it too often also makes the plastic loose the textured surface.
PS: I take no responsibility fo melted bumpers! :roll:

Yeah i was told that one, but was also told thatto do it too often makes the bumpers/plastic alot more brittle!

I'm going to try linseed oil next time
