plastic side pannels on van

whats this c4 trim restorer like .its just rub on but about 20 quid a bottle its shown on u tube

I am very tempted by this also, but it isn't cheap! I have only ever seen glowing reviews. Any other plastic/trim dressings loon great to start with and either attract dust or wash off in no time.

With it being a new van I would certainly try Gtechniq before applying any permanent bedliner.

Try an area with cherry blossom liquid shoe polish...
50p a bottle...
I've done a few rough van interiors, with it comes up like new..

I use raptor all the time for underbody protection. It's tintable and overpaintable.

The finish can be smooth or textured dependant on air pressure, distance and what you spray it out of.

what happened was there was some damage to the paintwork I got it repaired and they made a good job but there was some overspray on the plastic panels it didn't come off with t cut so I used celly thinners .it took it all off great then rubbed in bumper black looked good till I washed it and it went all faded so need something permanent

hi there thanks for the offer much appreciated ive shelled out on some c4 as it will do my car if ever needed . expensive but will report back if its any good after a month or so and a few washes

No probs, dug it out as you don't know what you've still got sometimes. If C4 is as good you will be happy, it goes a very long way as well, faded grey to black in no time.
Got this stuff from the US on reco from a mate, 236ml, used for 3 sets of bumpers and hardly any used. was about £25 tho! Lasts for years on your finger nails

Be good to hear on the C4

Peanut oil also works well on keeping plastics in good condition. Just also attracts animals

Yep have used that on ancient motorcycle plastics, works well.
Can be time consuming & not instant results from faded on large areas tho.

Read earlier in this post re hot air guns, suppose it depends if its throw away stuff but I wouldn't, if you go beyond a certain points its irretrievable finish
