Hi all,
So the bumpers, plastic interior panels etc on my 91 'L' always look so worn ad tired. The black bumpers are a shade of grey, the blue interior panels especially in the tailgate area were brittle white/blue and I thought beyond repair. I found this cheap solution on a Nissan forum in place of the expensive Armour All and other sprays...and less toxic! *A cup of baby oil *3-4 drops of dish liquid *1/4 cup of water Put it all in a coke bottle, shook it very well and poured it back into a spray bottle. I sprayed it all on generously, soaked it, then just left it for about 15 mins then wiped it...worked a treat, especially on the brittle, dull interior panels which I thought would not come back. Time will tell, to see if it lasts more than a few days, but fingers crossed. Mocky. Last edited by Mocky; 30th January 2016 at 06:09 AM. |

Mocky,
Keep us posted. My Grey interior is ok, but my Blue one is fading, like yours. Must be a color thing, as the grey interior is about 4 years older, but has spent a lot of time in a garage, not sure of my Blue ones history. Beigewagon

Hey all,
Silly me didn't take any before photos but I will share the afters. This car has grown up in the harsh sun of Western Australia, so it's no surprise the interior plastics were pretty dried out. Mocky. |

OK, so the solution previously mentioned was rubbish and didn't last more than a day. Scrub that.
However for bumpers, this is looking very promising. Before and after pics attached and it's called Duplicolor Bumper Coating. It was from Supercheap autos and was about $12. Bargain. Just light sand first to smooth the plastic, then a few gentle spray coats. Dries very quickly and soaks into the plastic. Fingers crossed! |
