faded ventshades

Kovz · 04-24-2007, 12:22 PM

ive got ventshades on my windows and when my truck had some body work done on the one side, i think they got overspray or something on the one ventshade. it has a dull finish on it now and ive tried scrubbing it, using alcohol, and i might have even tried a claybar.

even using black magic or bring the black back doesnt help much! how do i get this plastic to shine again and get that overspray off?

should i try paint thinner or mineral spirits? any tips are welcome. thanks in advance!

the claybar should take off the oversray.

use a Polish to make them shine again. i would NOT use any tyVe of solvants on them as they might melt the plastic.

take your time, and keep it really wet. it WILL scratch the plastic, but the olish will take care of those.

If you had to you could just sand them with some real fine grit sandpaper or maybe even a Scotch Brite pad and then polish the shit out of them afterwards to get the scratches out.
