But what happens if you get it on the paint or windows? I'm telling you - try the ICE.

Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
Stop using ArmorAll, it has mineral spirits in it that will fade your plastics. Why it's allowed to be on the market........
I had a Wrangler that got these white spots on the fenders (same type of material) because I didn't know any better. Now that I know, I will never use ArmorAll again.

Armor-All SUCKS. It'll dry out your leather, etc. STP makes a similiar product that does not.
Personally, I don't like all that slick, shiny, sloppy crap on my vehicles... I don't use any kind of dressing.

Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
Get a pro to paint it to color match or just black. Color match looks really good and just seems to add to the prestige of the monster. It just seems to make it look what we paid for them instead of the low end plastic that is used. When You wax You just get it out of gaps and no paint to worry about. Even if You paint trim black waxing still works.
There have been several good recomendations to use mentioned and cost less.

Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
Anybody tried using ICE on the interior plastic? I know some people who have used it on the exterior with good results, just never really gave the interior any thought.

Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
Krylon Fusion (made for plastics) is a good permanent solution. Protectorants, no matter what the brand, are going to just wash off. As far as a protectorant goes, I like Just Once (justonce.com).

Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
I've never used their particular reconditioning product for faded plastic, but Griot's Garage makes one. All of their stuff, with the exception of their water blade, has been great. Just Google Griot's Garage. Lifetime warranty on all products. Nice people.
