Unhappy Mondeo MKIII - fading exterior plastic trim
My black Mondeo is suffering from a bad dose of fading plastic trim - primarily around the wing mirrors but also on the bumper strips.

Have tried the usual stuff (Back to Black & Megiars trim detailer) to no avail.

Other than trade in and buy another car has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks
Paul

Peanut butter apparently works ... or I find that the Autoglym 'thick snot' (bumper cleaner with green label) always works on the girlfriend's 2001 Mondeo.

The Autoglym Bumper Cleaner will fetch it back to black, no probs.
