Default Plastic protection

I have been messing around with some ideas for plastic protection with UV protection. I have come up with something that might be better than any product available. Im still testing it, and I'm going to do some side by side, long term comparisons. I'll post them as I go. It's not oil, silicone or wax. My bumper was faded, and somewhat dried out and after applying this, it has stayed dark and rich looking. It also brought back the softness of the plastic. I'll keep you updated.

Default It did not work!

Well folks, it didn't work as I thought it would. It was amazing for a few days, and then it rained. It completely washed away with the rain because it is water soluble, so I guess I'll have to keep playing with it and maybe add something that will be waterproof

Interesting. I've been using 303 products. It has UV protection and provides a clean look.

Me and my friend we are using 303 for protecting the top and the other plastic ... Working fine ... Very happy with the results

303 is a great UV protectant, but at the end of the day if plastic is left exposed outdoors it's going to fade no matter what. Fortunately, plastic fenders are pretty easy to replace, wouldn't lose sleep over it.
