Restore the black on plastic on H2

[Cesardajr]

what did you guys do to prep the bumpers?
just wash, alcohol wipe, ????

I used the Griot's rubber/plastic cleaner prior to application.

Worked like a charm. Did mine many months ago, still looks great after lots of pressure washes and sun exposure.

[Olfart]

a good cleaning with water and alcohol did it for me

I did a denatured alchohol wipe down, the applied 2 coats with a foam brush like Olfart reccommended. Goes on very easy, its very thin.
There is along thread here some where with pics that I included.

Why did you guys go as far as using alchohol? I washed my truck and trim really well, waited for it to be totally dry then applied. I did get some spotting here and there on my front bumper though Just out of curiousity, has anyone used other Griots products? The price of everything is comparable to brands like Armor All and probably better quality, I've been eyeing up their leather products for my cracked drivers seat.

edit;
for what it's worth, I've done both bumpers and all the trim twice and probably have around half the bottle left.

I liked the way these wipes work better than the Griots, my plastic was really bad and just one treatment makes it look brand new, it has been holding up for weeks and a second treatment has them shining better than ever! Give it a try and you won't go back to any other product. and there is no reason to prep the bumpers at all because this stuff removes all the oxidation -and I do the whole truck with one wipe. http://shop.armordillots1.com/

Looks just as good as the griots. I used alchohol just to clean off any oils or deep dirt before applying the griots just to make sure the product fills and adheres well. Only takes 5 minutes to do a wipe down. Same here I didnt even use a 1/4 of the bottle for 2 coats.
