Baby oil works well too on faded plastic trim, as does a heat gun (just not too close tho!)

Hi LB. I think I may have gone through the top coat Though, if you look back through other pics it has been gradually getting worse over the last few years, so it wasn't down to the polisher. Funny thing is, this last 'polishing sesh' was the 1st time I've included the roof since, I guess 2011 (last years pics did not show ant 'roof shots' ) . But before polishing this time, I saw that it has 5 or 6 'patches' like the one on the bonnet. You can see them in latest pics, disguised a little by the cloud reflections. Maybe the harsh sun is taking its toll? Tanks outdoors 24/7.Luxobarge wrote:I've got one of those polishers, and I agree it's a great bit of kit, very rewarding. Yours are both looking great Paul - nice one!
However, what's the mark on the LH front of the bonnet? Did you go right through?
Cheers!
