Re: Plastic on bumpers

I have never heard of putting tire shine on.
It could have been something like All Season Dressing.
Personally I would not do it.- Unless it was trim)
It the bumper was covered in trim, I would go ahead and use ASD or Hyper Dressing or Gold Class Trim Detailer.

I just polish and wax them, and they look new.(Painted Plastic)

Re: Plastic on bumpers

Some products like All Season Dressing or Hyper Dressing would work on plastic, tires, etc.

Others, like Endurance Tire Shine, I would want to keep on the tires. I dont think putting a gel on your trim, then wiping it around, and trying to get off excess, etc, would be the way to go.

Re: Plastic on bumpers

I've used tire shine on trim before. Does just about the same thing IMO. A regular dressing is probably cheaper and easier to use though.

Use Gold Class Trim Detailer.

People have used Tire Shine but it's messy, more expensive, and it's made for rubber.

So get this, it's amazing:

Silicone based tire gels actually work very well on exterior plastics and rubber. They last a very long time and you can adjust the shine by wiping it afterwards. Also, they don't come off in the rain.

The discontinued M38 is similar to a tire gel, too.
