Würth Plast-Pt - Colorante Per Plastica, in Tubetto Da 75 ml, Colore: Nero

Faded bumpers and automotive plastics have always been a challenge to keep looking fresh.With so much bumper plastic on my van I need a solution that was semi-permanent so I wasn't always reapplying one solution or another.I did loads of research and tried the usual bumper darkening products from local motor factors and Halfords.None of them had any longevity and after a few weeks you would see the tell tale streaks that proved the solution hasn't penetrated beyond the surface of the plastic and was washing off.I also tried some home brew methods such as peanut butter and peanut oil and whilst these worked better after a few weeks they would also fade.Having seen the Wurth product mentioned on the internet forums I bit the bullet and decided to give it a go despite how expensive it seemed.I have also waited 3 months before posting this review to really give it some time on the bumpers in all weathers.The good news is that it works and there has been no discernable fading over the last three months. It also went much further than I thought it would and there was enough in the tube for two full applications on my van.Applying it is relatively simple, it takes more time to wash the bumper and get it fly free than it did to apply it and it's quite satisfying, like polishing shoes. Make sure the bumper is fully dry though.It goes on matt and does appear to penetrate the plastic, staining it a dark off black colour although the end effect will be dependent on your bumpers original colour and how faded it is.Overall this is a product that does what it says it will do and solves a problem that can make your vehicle look very tired and scruffy only after a few years.I've been delighted with it. Another first world problem solved!UPDATERun through the worst of the winter (hopefully) and still looking pretty good!

It's Wurth, it had to be good stuff!

If you want a product that's easy to apply, looks good, and more importantly, lasts a long time, this is it. I applied it to the plastics on my Saab 9-3 in September and it was still looking great in February after multiple washes and the winter weather.I've tried lots of different products from well known manufacturers and nothing comes remotely close to this stuff.I've added a photo taken before I applied it in September and another one to show how it's lasted after 5 months.I can thoroughly recommend it.

I have searched high and low for something to renovate faded plastics this product is in a league of its own though expensive Really easy to use and very effective

A nice product to apply, seems to give a good finish.However I used on my vans door cards, they looked great for about 2 weeks and then the marks started to appear.The Dye seems to be more of a paint, and with gentle knocks it falls off, so quickly the door cards became tatty.I think the product is ok, and in low traffic areas would be fine, however if you’re going to be touching the dyed surface daily, think of something else to use. 👍🏼

Initial results on my X3 are excellent & I’m very pleased as it looks like new. You don’t have to be too concerned about it getting onto paintwork as it seemed to come off quite easily when dry with only a dry cloth. I needed 2 x 75ml tunes for 2 coats but this model has big front & rear bumpers plus side skirts so c£50, although not cheap, is good for the result achieved. Only time will tell if it lasts

Excellent stuff I used it in my 1993 Land Rover Defenders Dashboard pad that had faded and become dirty etc with age it now looks brand new I also used it on the sun visors as I'd changed the head lining to black and the Dye worked perfectly for dying the visors from cream to black and seems to be holding up well.

If you don't have any imperfections then this works fine but will not hide underneath marks !!
