Does anyone have a suggested product or system to use to restore my 1976 - 914 rubber bumpers back to a good looking black. I have read about many product like peanut oil, sunflower oil, motor oil, cooking oil, heat gun and many more. I did a teat sample on the bottom of the front bumper using tire black, back to black & vegetable oil. Of the 3 the vegetable oil looked the best after application and a 5 min dry. I would think nothing will provide a long term fix but just a one month restore to a black would be great.
Thanks |

OK time to share one of my favorite products for restoring Black rubber, plastic and vinyl. . . . Read the hype on their site. . works just like advertised. . My most drastic test was to sand plastic parts to remove deep scratches, then apply Solution Finish as directions, let it dry overnight and buff to a satin finish. . Gave my old truck bumpers a treatment months ago and they still look new. .
