I've done this on all of the applicable surfaces of my Infiniti QX 4 and it does work!

[@SweetProjectCars]

AWESOME :)

[@tntwashpro3863]

How long does it stay looking new

[@tntwashpro3863]

Wilfredo Dizon how long did it stay looking good

[@SweetProjectCars]

it stays that way for months and months with the use of a good UV protectant like 303 :)

[@KiRiMa64]

If I would've put the 303 protectant it might've have lasted much longer-my fault!

[@prodagousa1234]

Thank you so much I certainly wish I would've known about this three years ago that way I wouldn't of had to pay $400 to have the trim on my hummer painted. It's people like you that give free advice not expecting anything in return that we need more of in this world

[@SweetProjectCars]

We are trying to do our part John we appreciate your great comments we’re always here to help

[@jiwbink]

PRODAGO, THE WAY MOST PLACES OPERATE THESE DAYS,THE PEOPLE YOU PAID FOR NEW PLASTIC, PROBABLY DID THIS AND CHARGED YOU THE $400. BE CAREFUL & GOOD LUCK!

[@wvbonbonqueen]

I watched this video a few months ago, and thought that may work on our 2000 Dodge Truck front bumper. So, Friday, I tried it and it Does Work!!! I was amazed at how much better it looks and then Hubby did the front shroud under the bumper and they look brand new. Thank You for the great hints that you share here on all your videos. This was the first one we tried but will re-visit them all again, so we can get more hints and tricks to making our vehicles look so much better.

[@richeyrich2203]

So how does it look a year later?

[@philharper1561]

I live in Arizona, I applied kiwi shoe polish to the plastic and the Heat must have brought the oils back but it last at least 3 years with out other treatment. Imagine all the possibilities with 303, top coat, or any of the nanotech protestants! Awesome vid, thanks for the info.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Phil Harper thank you for sharing my friend :)

[@wvbonbonqueen]

I used 303 for our truck, and it works nice, but sure doesn't look as good as the heat gun method that is described in this video. Also I would imagine it doesn't last as long either. I do Love my 303, and use it for many things, like the top to my Jeep Wrangler, but, this method on the trim of our truck, I don't think it can be beat.

[@glennwilburn1880]

You actually are melting the plastic but in a good way and it does work. You are burning out the oxidized damaged plastic and heating it just enough to smooth it back out on it own. They do the same thing with certain acrylics to smooth them out. Its called flame polishing. This is one of the better heat gun videos I've seen. Thank you

Good idea. I should have known this since I work with plastic everyday and that is what we do to put a high gloss finish on one part.

[@jaieschofield9360]

I've been useing old car oil for faded black trim & it works better then all the other products I've used befor. Just rub it in really well then rub off the excess & your trim is good for a year 👍

[@lockergr]

I'm trying this today! Thanks!

[@mikewest8836]

I figured this out a few years back trying to reshape plastic , I was amazed

[@klaudiokl5744]

What is this machine what he make hot ?

[@rexjerome5931]

If you hold the heat gun at a low angle rather that pointing it directly at the surface you can move along faster and "push" the heat ahead as you go. You'll need to go at it from a couple different directions when you have features such as those raised round dots.

[@SweetProjectCars]

thank you

[@trufuel9054]

Worked in injection molding made all kind of exterior and interior plastics white patches in the plastic is moisture we use propane torches to get rid of it it will also darken the plastic if it is faded but beware if overheated you will lose texture and burn all the oils out and it will turn to grey

I did this to a Nissan Xterra with a bunch of faded plastic and it worked great!

[@SweetProjectCars]

good deal :)

[@glumbreras1]

Worked great on my beloved 2000 Nissan Xterra Just a remark: not all trimming plastics are the same, some are harder than others, for example door handles, so the heat does not "melt" the surface on those and you will not see much of a change Other than that I'm pretty happy with what I was able to get with a cheap $20 heat gun and a little time and patience

Good morning...just had to drop a line thanking you for this excellent tip...Yesterday I sprayed some iron remover on my Dodge Ram and it ended up staining the black trim covering the bumper in the area of the licence plate, made it looked oxidized.

This would work great in FL where I live. The restoring products they sell at the store literally work for one wash. It’s exhausting to do all that work then it’s gone next wash, can’t wait to try this for a more Perm fix!

Sweet Project Cars l put armor all Protestant in my trucks black trims and it stays black till now.

[@MrBubbadon]

4 years from now? I’m pretty sure I can leave with that

[@codycheney3401]

fist of all putting tire shine or that kind of stuff never stays so the heat gun brings it back to normal so on inside panels that are faded and haven't been painted works there too. The little honda that had the black front bumpers and bumpers works great there !

[@SweetProjectCars]

Cody my friend we are doing inside panels today look for the video very very soon. and we are glad it WORKED ON THAT little honda :)

[@codycheney3401]

great ! Have you ever tried .0001 steel wool and window cleaner to clean the inside and out of glass ? If a smoker has owned a vehicle and you want to get the glass super clean that is the way !

[@Blakehx]

Thanks for the great info! What should I do about my cars "chrome" plastic trim where most of the "chrome" has chipped off? Thanks

[@SweetProjectCars]

Blakehx best thing you do is to try and remove the rest of the peeling chrome then repaint and clear coat but you may find new parts for cheaper than the time it will take to do this ..plastic chrome is a real bear to make look good once it starts to peel.

it is quicker but not for the novice that's for sure...thanks mike spc

[@stevenweede7184]

I always say it’s never a wasted day if you learned something new. Holy F-ing shit balls this was amazing!

[@l.1273]

I used the heat gun on the bumper of a 1991 Honda Civic Wagon and then as it cooled I put on Kiwi Black Dye (yes, the shoe product I found for $5 at the supermarket). It's been 7 years now and it is only just starting to fade again and I live in Arizona. I have read though that how a bumper responds to different treatments has to do with what sort of plastic it is, some respond better than others to different products or a heat gun. I was fortunate.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great week my friend. mad Mike

[@beaconfivestarmobiledtaili8687]

For everyone saying this isnt permanent. I would like to tell you that if you use this method and use a high quality uv blocker for plastic once every 3-4 weeks especiaclly during summer the black will stay at least 7-10 years. Also hold into acount the amount you neglect your vehicle. No offense to armor all but there products are for the most part trash.

thank you very much for the great comment and we are sure glad you are here with us :)

[@balemonte727]

I just did it again on a Rodeo 02 and it looks like new, I should send you a pick but its raining, maybe later. It has to do with the thermal dynamics of polymer plastics, I think, I'm no expert, but as the weathered surface heats up, a new layer of rich dark molecules rise to the surface. At least that's my take. Any plastic engineers out there?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Bale Monte good to hear that my friend now just use your 303 on it and it will stay that way my friend :)

Awesome post as usual ! Like I commented before - I've always thought the white 'powder like discoloration' could be from mold growing on and eventually in the superficial layer of the trim pieces - have you ever tried using a dilute solution of Bleach or Tilex before the Alcohol to see if the treatment looks better and lasts longer ?

What happened, to adding clean motor oil to penetrate the plastic while it's hot? Didn't you have an old video like that, where you heated up the Plastic and added the oil for longer lasting protecting and less chances of fading because the plastic pours were opened by heat gun. Would adding clean motor oil be a good option, is so can you suggest which oil or oils worked best for you. Thanks again for your wonderful videos Bro. 👊

Nope, just make sure it's clean which is a normal for any work performed on your vehicle. Thanks for asking. mad Mike the hammer SPC

It reminds me of dry skin. Dry skin get flaky, chalky and we put lotion on to help dry skin. If you hydrate enough your skin is less likely to dry up and the natural oils help lubricate so our skin does not dry out. There was a comment that someone said they used a sponge sander and sanded the white chalky stuff off and it worked. Well that is like exfoliating.

Would this work with a microfiber towel and steamer? Its just heat right? Don’t wanna damage the trim on my truck

[@SweetProjectCars]

Give it a try and see if it works for you if it doesn’t you’ll know what to do for the video

[@Axmaster9]

With the heat gun don’t you run the risk of ruining your paint job though?

[@SweetProjectCars]

no paint issues just use common sense when doing the job

joe momma for a short period

[@Jandejongjong]

We all know the short period tricks. Spit on it. Use old sock. Shoe polish brush.. Old fire man trick hahaha. The heatgun is permanent. Until acid rain bites in again with the sun.

Olive oil works really well. I use it on all my trim, vinyl roof and interior such as my door panels, dash and leather seats.

Will this purge out chemicals like waxing/polish chemicals etc? Ohh and also my trim is odd, it gets pretty close to my car paint like in crevices.. will the heat damage the car paint? I basically want to do all my worn out trim, even the foglight covers next to the foglights, will it be ok near the lights also, the low heat? Thanks!

[@SweetProjectCars]

First, if you are concerned about the car paint, tape off the edge with painters tape, when the process is done per the video, there will be no paint damage. Second, to remove any wax buildup, you need to use this amzn.to/3hsXZbJ and this amzn.to/3oJsgY8 Thanks for your question. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@jimcole2648]

How is it a fix? If the heat brings the oils back out won’t it go away again? Interesting 🤔

[@SweetProjectCars]

Jim Cole it is a great repair, as it will stay this way as long as you use this after every wash and detailing amzn.to/2zTBRms have a great day my friend :)
