i was wondering if anyone else had the plastics on the bottom of the mirrors fading to an ugly grey color and the plastic wiper things on the hood (correct name is escaping my mind rite now) which are the worst outta the 2 spots. im gonna try to take pictures of them later but they look 8 years older than the rest of the car and its bothering me alot. i was also wondering if this has happened to anyone else, wut have u used to protect them and get them back to their original color.

 

anyone???

 

 

still, take the pics, cause idk understand where ur talkin about, and id like to watch out for this happening to me aswell. thank u

 

thanx nj_08_gts ill check it out and to answer ur question slaker138 here are the pics its just regular discoloration of the plastic i think

 

to me it looks like wax residue. I had the same thing happen to me. I just wiped the mirrors down with seafoam, and took the washer nozzles off and wiped those down, put em back on... they've stayed orignal black for almost a year now.

 

DEFINITELY wax residue. Had the same thing happen to me. Wipe them down good with a appropriate cleaner/conditioner.

 

 

thanx guys im gonna try those products out

 

don't bother wasting your money

Detailers secret for getting that white residue off plastic trim......WHITE ERASER

works like a charm

 

you talking about the one in a pencil? like the white vinyl eraser? cuz I've heard of using the gooey art type eraser.

 

hell if im gonna save money im interested lol please explain

 

It's the clay-ish eraser you can buy at an art supply/hobby store. They don't leave eraser dust behind...and will clean your trim.

 

You can also use that magic eraser stuff you can get at the grocery store.

 

My white lancer has the backside of the mirror fading like if the clear coat is not there anymore. I think I need to re-shine it.
