[s-cars] front bumper care (Richard Kurtzer)

[thomas.pollock at amd.com]

I have a problem with any kind of material that is applied to plastic and
needs to be buffed out afterwards.  It creates static and becomes a dust
magnet.  Someone recently mentioned back to black which I've found to be
about the best black plastic dresser I've ever used but sheesh, is it ever
hard to keep the dust away afterwards.

Gee, I wonder what static guard would do ?   Hmmmmmmm.

RE:  Black bumper molding care and fading...

One detailer's trick I've used on the black textured sections of the
bumpers,
as well as the side moldings and the black lower trim, is clear silicone
tire dressing.
(This is the kind that comes in a clear or tinted liquid, usually in a spray
bottle)
Note:  Be VERY CAREFUL when applying this stuff.  It's best to LIGHTLY apply
it with a piece
of foam, such as the "tire swipes"  you find at the auto parts store.  After
LIGHTLY coating
your trim, buff/wipe off the excess with a rag that you don't want to use on
anything else.
That dressing is somewhat nasty stuff, so be careful not to get it on the
paint.  The good news
is, once you dress your black trim with it, it stays nice for a few weeks,
depending on how dirty
or wet the rest of the car goes.

Happy detailing,
