Refreshed Wiper Cowl
Did this the other day on my day off and didn't get a chance to upload pics until today. My wiper cowl plastic was faded and looked horrible. I decided to remove it and lightly sand it as well as apply acetone to remove any oily substances etc... I then hit it with about 3-4 coats of "Dupli-Color Trim & Bumper Paint" which has the Fade X Technology added to it. I'm happy with the results other than the minor scratches the pics may not show from my recent AC evaporator replacement and windshield removal at the dealership about a month ago. Pics below...

Looks good. I have heard that the proper wipe-on ceramic coating like Avalon King is really good for restoring trim as well. Maybe i just trust Legitstreetcars on youtube too much, but it looks like it works really well.

Thanks all. I have done this to another vehicle of mine and its holding up well. I used the Sem 39033 Trim Black Charcoal Metallic which is an almost exact match for my Nissan Xterra and it held up nicely. I tried using the same on the Camaro.. but for some reason certain areas under the paint was not holding so I went ahead with the Dupli Color I mentioned in my first post.

It does look good. Nice job!
I use the Son of a Gun Natural Shine Tire Cleaner to keep mine looking fresh. I also use it on some of the under-hood plastic. the picture below is after using it with 200,000 miles on the odometer. |
