Interior or exterior?

Adams VRT for exterior made mine look great, now you have to reapply it because it washes away through time. I have only used Adams for exterior plastic and nothing else.

I will be though painting my exterior plastic black though. The VRT darkens it up and makes it look nice but I want the black to be back.

I have painted my fenders on my jeep. But now I'm dealing with my ram. I will try the heat gun. Was wondering if there was any products that you could rub on it that work

I always wondered if you could use that stuff that they have at home stores to make vinyl shutters and that kind of stuff look new again. Might have to try that on something.

I have used Back-to-Black and it did not work for me.

My brother introduced me to "Forever Black" products years ago. I used the Bumper & Trim product. It's excellent & permanent. It doesn't wash off like Back to Black etc.

Our VRT does do a great job on all exterior rubber & plastics.

Another vote for Forever Black. It is a dye. I have used it on bumper pads & side windshield moldings. Holding up great. Will do my bed rail caps as soon as I find the time.
