A hit with the wet & dry and then some G10 before finishing with A Grade


50/50


So with plastic lenses use the same procedures but go easy but omit the G3 and don't use a lot of pressure when rubbing or the plastic will melt
Would this also work on black plastic bumpers, or is that a different technique? the bumpers on my sons car are a bit tired

cheers

Problem with plastic is that it usually stretched when scratched too...

It won't work Brian, it has a rough finish compared to a lens and would look like the dogs dinner if you polished it.

Have you tried Autoglym bumper care?
