cheaper than Gtechniq, and as well as rejuvenating the black plastic can also be used on other surfaces too...

With any treatment make sure you give the surfaces a proper clean first, ideally with an IPA based fluid.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Any ideas on the best product to restore the panel to its former glory.
Have slight sun fade which needs to be addressed.
Do these back to black products actually last for any length of time or is it case of taking it off and spraying it up.
All the Halfords type products provide a short term cosmetic improvement.
The stuff you need for a proper, long lasting job is ........

I used gtechniq c4 on mine. Came up really well. It's a tiny bottle but you don't need a lot. I did it a year ago and it's still spot on. My car is garaged.
I think there's more extreme methods with a heat gun that also works. I'm not brave enough to try that! I'm sure others will be able to give more info on that option!.
Or alternatively, I can recommend Carpro Dlux... cheaper than Gtechniq, and as well as rejuvenating the black plastic can also be used on other surfaces too... wheels, callipers, exhaust tips, headlights after they've been sanded and polished... brilliant stuff and easy to use.
With any treatment make sure you give the surfaces a proper clean first, ideally with an IPA based fluid.
OK thanks - heard of the heat gun trick but I too am not to keen on trying that.
There is a spare one on ebay for £20 in Cambridge which is not far from me so might buy that one and give it a go with the products above and then swap over.

Heat gun does seem to be the best way, but even though I'll pretty much try anything, I thought the risk of going wrong was too high. I went for the C4 and am really pleased with the results. Only been a few weeks though and my car is always outside, so may not last that long.
