Faded bumpers and plastic
 

im not sure which is the best product to use or to prevent this but i have heard that Aerospace 303 protectant is the best stuff on the market. i am going to order the product soon and keep everyone posted.....

Have you seen any fading on your truck? I saw a lot on H2s, but nothing much on the 3s...

fortunately i havent had any fading yet but want to be proactive by preventing so. i usually keep the truck in the garage or in shade of some sort but on some of the older model H3's, i have seen fading on the plastic hood vent/grill as well as on the pillar trim next to the windshield and rear window. im hoping that in a year or two's time, the plastic will still look good as new. the faded plastic just looks like a cheap design flaw.....

Age old trick that sounds stupid but take regular old jiffy peanut butter and use a rag to rub it into the faded black plastic pieces. World of difference when your done.

The peanut butter trick worked on my wifes Avalanche cladding. It was easy as pie to put on and take off..wondering how long it will last till another apply?

My scooter buddy introduced me to this product that revitalizes plastics and rubber without the oily residue. Its actually pretty darn good in my opinion. We use it to dress up the tires on our scooters and motorcycles at car shows without making the contact areas slippery. Its called Renew, just Google it.:D I was planning on using it on the trim pieces and bumpers when I pick up my first H3 in 2 weeks.

i just get the armor all from the car wash but the gun cause i got tired of doing the black it all everytime i got a car wash

Mothers has a product called, back to black. It's wonderful. I use it on my trailblazer, Cherokee, and Rx8.

I use that stuff on my pilars and other trim. My dad uses it on the plastic on his avalanche. It works the best IMO

303
 

303 is an excellant product. Not oily like Amorall. It is the only product I will use on the interior leather, dash, trim, etc. For the outside roof rail trim and bumpers I typically use Amorall due to its cost. Still needs to be redone avery few weeks. I Amorall the wheel wells and engine bay as well.

I used the Crap you see on TV--- Wipe-New---- pricey 14.95 but it worked brought the color back and so far it is lasting

I have to agree with you on this product. Best product on the market. I did both my trucks with wipe new 4 months ago and still looks like new. Amazing product and blows back to black away. Back to black lasts about a month or two. Go buy wipe new and you won't be disappointed.

X3 on the Wipe New

303 protectant works good. What I like about this product is that it leaves a natural shine finish and no greasy residue.

its going on 5 months with wipe new and trucks still look brand new. unreal product. I wish I knew about this product when I had my Avalanche.

I recently purchased the "Turtle Wax" renew product. I masked off all of the painted areas near to all of the plastic trim and applied several coasts of the product. Absolutely tickled with the finish it produced. All the plastic parts look brand new. Nobody can believe that my H2 is 2003 model. I have been through the car wash several times since applying and it still looks brand new! I highly recommend this product!

I used this on my window pillar posts of my H3. The posts were so bleached they were almost white. Just with some light rubbing they came back to the black/dark Grey they were when new.Thanks for the tip
