Restore looks of plastic

[StAnger]

Good day to all of you!

Yung toyota corolla XE ko kasi nag fade na yung black color plastic ng side mirrors, door handles. Namumuti na sya at pangit tingnan talaga. Baka may alam kayong parang wax or something na pinapahid para ma restore yung pagiging color black nya. Paki lagay na rin anong brand, magkano at kung saan nakakabili. Mas maganda sana kung mura lang pero kung worth it naman kahit mahal ang price pwede na rin.

Thanks in advance mga gurus!!!

I've had good results with Meguiar's PlastiX. Shangri-La mall sa Tru Value or Han Tools yata meron nun in stock. 3M plastic restorers also work good, same location. I think ACE hardware should also have these in stock.

If you want to blacken the plastics again, Back to Black has been recommended to me by a good member here. I haven't had the chance to get one yet, but so far I've heard good results from this too.

Expect to pay 300 and above for a bottle, maybe more.

do a search also, particularly in the Detailing Thread.

I think theveed of Big Bert's used peanut butter (yung palaman) on his Corolla's black trim.

di ako makahanap ng 3m plastic cleaner. so settled for mother's back to black for now. ok naman ako sa results, pati sa flat black paint pede din. gamitinalthough according to my searches, hindi sya cleaner but a dressing..

hi guys.. interesting topic. tanong k lang, how about yunt clear na plastic sa may guage display.. pag cloudy na, how do you fix that.

I tried cleaning it na kasi eh, hindi talaga matangal yung cloud sa transparent plastic. baka naman may alam kayo kung paano tangalin.

I attatched a picture so youll have an idea. tagal ko nang dilemna to eh.

You tried cleaning it with what? IMO you should remove the cluster and clean the plastic from the inside using what I suggested above.

Sorry mbeige, I vote against Back to Black because it doesn't last for that long, after a few days iba na yung pagka-black nya and it would seem to start to fade again... Get Forever Black!!! Ewan ko kung accessible toh diyan sa Pinas but if it is, get it!

nangyari na sa inteegra ko yan, unfortunately kase ginamitan ko ng Invisible Glass tapos biglang naging cloudy. Mahirap talaga tanggalin pero gamitan mo lang ng Meguiar's PlastX tanggal yan...

Didn't you recommend B2B before? So masmaganda yung Forever Black?

oh, are you sure I did that??? LOL, I like Forever Black regardless... You actually dye the black trims black... My side moldings stayed black for months now...

has anyone used MC (multipurpose cleaner) to clean the interior plastic?

Invisible Glass will "eat" or dig into the plastic. Matapang yan

It actually just stained the plastic cover, it didn't eat it up... After I applied Meguiar's PlastX it was all smooth again and better than before...

sir, magkano and saan mo nabili yung back to black? same problem here. tia

sa true value - Park square 1.

tried it, tanggal ang grime (libag). back to matte finish ang dashboard. although pag stained na yung plastic, parang sa pudpod na parts ng steering wheel, di na effective.
