Daft question but can you get something to reblack the wheel arches and bumpers, so like a back to black or something?

Thanks Guys

Yes
IMO the best is gtecniqe but expensive about £22 for a tiny bottle but lasts ages.
Also not bad is black wow from ultimate finish .co.uk

Plenty on the market everyone will have their own personal favourites

Anyone tried the hot air gun trick to re black the trim I have seen videos and it looks impressive but I'm not brave enough to try it Very Happy

Anything oily will work, peanut butter, wd40 etc. silicon spray works temporarily.

TBH, for the price, you may as well replace the scuttle as there's little you can do to improve it.

If you use the gtecniqe sparingly it will last ages

Works a treat mind you

I've just used some turtle wax trim restorer all over with some success, claims to last 3 months, the scuttle appears black after 2 weeks in the Aussie sun still, so it seems to work.

A vehicle detailer friend of mine gave me some bumper dressing which is like linseed oil, Its very hard wearing and brings all plastics up including my sunworn scuttle to near perfection. The only down side is its best to apply this when its dry and warm.
