How to reblacken car plastic bumpers and other plastic trim? I found a surprising good way. Having used black trim wax or “back to black” as its sometimes called and found it to fade over the years, I experimented with some stuff I had available and found the hardwood furniture oil a surprisingly good way to make the bumpers look black again.

Now here are how it looks 3 years later on a mini I used it on:    • Car Bumper & Wing Re-blackening - The...  

There is now a more recent video on another product even better! :    • AMAZING! New Cheap BUMPER PLASTIC RE-...  

Try it for yourself, this is just what I have done, that seems to work. And it lasts a LOT longer than those off the shelf ‘back to black’ type products. As it restores the lost oils in the plastic it is just what it needs. The plastic on this car was too old for the ‘hot air gun’ technique to work as there was little oil in the plastic to rise to the surface and I nearly melted them! So replacing the lost oil is best as in this video. A car I treated over 2 years ago is still good and noticeably better than untreated bits! I now use this furniture oil to refresh any black plastic, inside or out and even greyed black paintwork. It’s brilliant. Make sure you try it on a small spot out of the way first to make sure you are happy with it.

The pot I used is a bit old and the tin colour has been redesigned but I think it is the same as this stuff (Ronseal hardwood furniture oil) for sale on:

Here is the usual stuff I’ve used in the past, which is meant to be for bumper blackening. However I have personally found that it does fade over the years too quite a grey colour, as in the video:
