    This is a link to more info on the heat gun method: VWvortex Forums: Heat gun time: restoring faded plastic bumpers
    and one for shoe polish, although on here one person says kiwi shoe DYE, not polish: MotiveMag Forums: Restore GTI fender flares?

    Point the finger at someone else next time hey guys for spam! I heard it works and thought I'd help out... won't bother next time!

    vegetable oil actually works well, i know through experience lol, just dont lean against the plstic bits though for a few days as it ruins your clothes

    seriously though it does work well,

    with regards to dunk1 and the shoe polish, i know guys who use it as tyre shine and it does actually work wonders due to being waterproof, it seems to shine the tyres for a good while whereas meguires etc seems to dull away after a day or so

    Re: faded plastic

    im sure there is red shoe polish, girly shoes eh! although i cant remember the last time i saw a girl polish her shoes lol! if it all fails go for the paint but use the thinners like a said, helps the paint penetrate and makes it a bit more flexible!
