Faded Plastic & Powdercoat

[RoverOverland]

I just recently started using black shoe polish on faded black plastic parts and dull powdercoated parts... works amazing, give it a try! Simply use a sufficient amount for coverage depending on severity of fading and buff with dry rag. I don't use any water for a "spit shine" and the outcome is a nice semi-gloss. Also, I've noticed that after accidentally leaving the can in the sun to heat up, it became easier to apply! (No change in appearance though either cold or warm) :rockon:

I actually haven't taken any pictures yet...I will at the next detail! I almost wasn't able to go, so I'm glad I was able to make it. I could tell she was having so much fun with the guns and I wanted to encourage that...it's rare, believe me! Feel free to contact me next time you're in 'Vegas!

Roger that. Joy's a special lady. I still have no freaking idea why the hell she's with me

We'll look you up next time we're in the area and make it happen, for sure. Any time you're in NorCal, please do the same.
