Faded black bumpers

Hi everyone.

Ok i notice that lots of people not just on this forum but any car forum, tend to be asking "HOW DO I BRING THE COLOUR BACK ON MY BUMPERS" people recomend lots of chemicals, Chemicals are ok for a quick fix probably lasting hours to a few months.

Well im a master valeter ive been in the game for over 15 years now and have learned a few things. i actualy stumbled across one thing back when i started out in valeting all those years ago, by just experimenting, this i have kept a top secret since then, belive me ther isnt many people in the trade that even know this secret, let alone jo public.I have only ever told a select few. Im curently in the process of making a small E-Book that will be a step by step guide on how to restore discolored bummpers back to original condition and It lasts, it will never wash off, your bumpers will be like they wher intended to be.

No Need For Chemicals
No Need For Painting
No Need For Paying Someone To Do What Most People Do, USE CHEMICALS
No Need To Replace The Bummpers

I have used this secret on many cars and belive me its so simple you can do the hole car in an hour, This truly is like magic. AND IT LASTS FOREVER. Think of the Time you would save no more re applying chemicals every month Remember.

THIS IS NOT A CHEMICAL

Think of the money you will save

No Chemicals
No Painting
No Replacments

This realy is A Revolution Watch this space i will post up details when the E-BOOK is launched

As a valeter, would you not want people to come back? why not post the thread when the E-BOOK is ready??

It will probably tell you to go get a black Pentel permanent marker and start colouring in your black bits of trim

That's what I use to touch-up my wheels And wd-40 for the black bits - I know some oils can rot rubber, will that be OK?
