The Secrets of Restoring car Trim with a Heat Gun, faded bumper repair

[@markandbow5774]

I love short " how to " videos with just enough information for enthusiasts to try. Well done 😊

[@daytonamart2789]

I like the shorts, I’d like them a little longer though, 😂

[@Demetrios01]

I actually miss you long lasting transformation videos. I kn ow these are hard to record and also hard to edit but -trust me when I say- YT will, at some point, make it worth you extra time with good payouts.

[@SJR313]

Good to see you back! 👍

[@petewatson9866]

This is the best detailing channel, because of all the insider info you get. I have looked back but can’t remember what cars, you told us about Autoglym making two engine detailing products but are both the same, spray on wet and leave to dry for matte finish

[@garyghio1235]

Great to see you back! One of my favourite detailing channels, just so relaxing to watch!

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Superb! You are back!💪💪💪

[@paultaylor9652]

Great to see you back, interesting video.

[@Bladebars]

Great to see you uploading again

[@davepax982]

Excellent info. My Pajero has badly faded plastics around the wheel arches like the Civic. I now have a fix! Thanks 👍

[@timbogriffiths]

Great to have a vid from u, I have missed these, brilliant KZbinr but chuffed to watch a new vid of yours 😊

[@everydaydetailing6449]

Thanks so much! 😊

For those interested, after using the heat gun on the plastic trims, apply some GTechniq C4 trim restorer. It reacts at a molecular level to provide up to 2 years of further protection from degrading the plastics. It works an absolute treat.

Brilliant Phil. I'm so jealous of your wash bay 🤣

[@karl3927]

Thank you for the video. Excellent transformation 👌.

[@daveroberts703]

Great video. Always been tempted to try this but on my own van first haha 😨😆

[@davidmarshall5596]

This is bloody brilliant 😊🎉

[@johnconroy1600]

This method is good for short term, but the plastic will fade again from the sun's uv rays. I tried a lot of methods on my civic type s plastic trim and everything failed. I ended up cleaning (de greasing) the entire trim around the car, and applied a platic primer x2 coats, then applied a paint called zinsser allcoat (matt black ) x2 coats and the trim looks brand new. Its been done 2 years now and still looks amazing with no flaking, chipping or colour fade👍

Lovely content!

[@eastfieldmotorco739]

Cracking job what tyre dressing do you recommend

[@TheBusracer]

That's cool I've never seen this done before

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello,great video, sometimes putting on bumper gel won't do it and this is the only way to revive plastic,and looks alot better.

[@everydaydetailing6449]

Thanks 👍 exactly

[@ozrenradovanlija5600]

Duude you are back finaly

[@roblubelski422]

The very two jobs up next on my van!

[@matthewmcmanus088]

Good job buddy 👍

[@everydaydetailing6449]

Thanks 👍

Hello Handsome long time no see! 🇦🇺

[@bavarianscalemodelling4185]

The problem with the heat gun is that the properties of the plastic are changed by the heat. I got the best and long-lasting result with ceramic sealing.

[@everydaydetailing6449]

As you can see by the side skirt, the trim has gone stripy and no trim restorer will remove that UV damage, its either replace, paint or heat gun! on a £800 car this is a fairly decent option! though you are right, many new sealants are outstanding and last for a long time.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Wow mind blown ! I’m sending this to my mate who is a detailer and I’m off to but a heat gun 🤯🤩🤩🧱👍🏽

[@MegaMmkh]

What temperature for the heat gun?

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

What's the best and longest lasting tire shine product to use?

[@everydaydetailing6449]

Sadly the one I use has been discontinued! will look into alternatives

[@anikdasdigital]

Your videos are amazing. I really like it. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Can I talk with you?

[@Katracho727]

What's was temp setting at

[@nielolee]

Very cool

[@Nodontbuymeportal]

How long should you apply the heat for in a given area and is that at max setting?

[@everydaydetailing6449]

I use it on max setting and only put over an area until it changes colour, a few seconds tops, almost like painting a fence etc, or using a paint can, I tend to work the nozel back and forth rather than one fixed spot

[@Flowing23]

👍👍

[@chillimodern5965]

What tire care did you use here?

[@refa42]

White waiting for the answer, I'd like to give a shoutout to Autoglym Tyre Gel - I've had good results with it. It gives a new tyre look without being glossy, and keeps them that way for weeks after first application. Of course the tires need to be properly clean before applying.

[@everydaydetailing6449]

Thanks for sharing :) I may try it my self!

[@NMF1969]

What’s the point in getting invested in watching your content again? You disappear for nearly a year post a couple of videos then disappear again. No point in getting invested in watching

[@everydaydetailing6449]

Then don't! I make free video's when I can!

[@cosmicgreen]

It will be much worse and worse every time you use heat gun. Simply apply trim restorator and repeat every 6 months.

[@everydaydetailing6449]

As you can see by the side skirt, the trim has gone stripy and no trim restorer will remove that UV damage, its either replace, paint or heat gun! on a £800 car this is a fairly decent option! though you are right, many new sealants are outstanding and last for a long time. On a car like this once its had the heat gun treatment and a decent trim protector/restorer added on a regular basis, there should be no need to heat treat the trim in the future.

[@cosmicgreen]

That's also one point of view. Simple, just not for me, and I wasn't thinking locally in the first place in the video is globally available.

Great to see you back!
