997 cleaning advice thread

[davirus82]

Hello I need some cleaning advice and guess this would be a goo place to for people to share cleaning tips. I have seen some threads specifically on leather but nothing general.

I am hoping someone has a good was of cleaning (and restoring the black) to the plastic seen below. I have seen a few products... But all have very mixed reviews.

I've seen these removed and sightly heated up with a heat gun, they go back to pretty much original when it's done

Bought a replacement from an OPC for £90, took 10 mins to swap over.

with the scuttle and other hard plastic trims I've had success with Forever Back. After a while I noticed that the scuttle was suffering from streaks from the rain so applied a coat of ACF-50 which seems to have sealed it.

+1 on C4, I used an All Purpose Cleaner first then treated with C4, 2 yrs and still looks good.

C4 all the way....clean it to an inch of its life before you apply

There's application videos on YouTube

Rob at gtechniq used to give a discount if you created an account online

While your there get some c2v3 for door shuts

Based on the recommendations on the detailing sub-forum I have just bought some Polytrol, which sounds similar to Gtechniq C4, but just £6 for a small tin. I will get some C4 and compare.

I like the range of products from Gtechniq. Does the C2V3 really make a difference on those areas taking teh most punishment?

I have been using the Dodo Juice products including the Supernatural leather products. I have been happy with those and now upping my game to try some claying!

I use Meguairs Tyre gel on that and on the plastic bits under the bonnet. Works very well. Way better than on the tyres - yet to find a good tyre dressing :roll:
