Anyone else find it impossible to keep the H2's rear bumper clean and not faded? If you have found a cleaner that will help, I would appreciate the information.
Thanks

I cant remember the name I have used it in awhile I remember there was a spray on shiny stuff that hardened onto the plastic like a wax.. Used it on an old truck a few years ago it worked good.

It was at Pep Boys, just look for a plastic protectant with shine something.

Really, be careful of ArmourAll. It runs when wet and gets nasty. Hummm, sorta' like that..... I think a few posted silicon sealants work well.

yeah silicon that sounds right.

This is the stuff Chevy specifies in a TSB on fading plastic on the Avalanche:

I haven't tried it, but it sounds like it would do the trick.

I used Turtle Wax Tire Wax, it is a very nice Tire Dressing that goes on easy and maintain a long-lasting, deep black color look. it also gives it a deep wet shine look. And it last for a long time on the plastic, you can go for mounts.

I've had pretty good results with Mother's Back To Black.

The secret is to never put anything on them except for mild detergent in normal washing. Once you start with the armor-all and all the junk it just helps it fade as it breaks the heat seal down (where the plastic touched the metal mold it was made in).

I have a 2003 (built in 02) and it looks like the day I bought it with the exception of a couple dings and wrinkled leather seats.
