SONAX XTREME Plastic Restorer Gel Exterior (250 ml)

Overall Verdict: This is great stuff and really good value - a little goes a very long way but you'll need some strong hands to squeeze it out of the tube! Background: I have a 2004 BMW Z4 - the plastics are really showing their age around the exterior of the car so wanted something to revive them. What I liked: This is really really effective. A tiny amount applied with a clean microfibre cloth can revive old plastics to nearly new. It is like a thick paste like material that easily rubs in to things like plastics, rubber door seals etc. I even applied it to the metal windscreen wiper arms and these look great too. Just leave it for a few minutes then buff off to leave a good finish. What I don't like: Nothing really. It takes a good amount of effort to squeeze it out of the tube but this really is being picky. Final verdict: Great price, great product, easy to apply and an easy reccomendation for anyone wanting to restore their car's exterior trim.

Sonax are known for making top class auto products and many people are using their Gummipflege door and window rubber lubricant stick to stop squeaks and rattles. This product is for reviving plastics that are starting to show the effects of age and atmospherics. Do note that this is not a full spec restorer product that is used on Porsche scuttle panels but more like the green Autoglym bumper and plastic restorer gel of which it is a close match in performance. Easy to apply and less greasy than the Autoglym equivalent it does a good job on lightly degraded plastics but don't expect a miracle restore on plastics faded to grey powder coat finishes. If you want the product with the plastic dyes in that people use on classic 911's then it will be the other 40 pound product.

This is a very good product to treat faded exterior plastic on your car. It's a thick gel that restores the original look, easy to apply with a foam pad. Easy to wipe off accidental residue from painted panels. The effect lasts for a couple of months on our car which is parked outdoors and is exposed to weather all the time. Will buy again, whenever that may be, as a little amount goes a very long way so the tub should last quite long.

Goes on really well and improved the look of my plastic bumpers initially. It only lasted a couple of days though, they soon reverted back to their tired old look. Thought it would last longer, disappointed.

Bought this for faded motorbike plastics but tried it first on a tired garden table that lives out in the sun - wow. The picture speaks for itself, it's restored the colour and the rain beads off it like new. It is a tight squeeze out of the tube but a little goes a long way and one tube will do loads. Have since used it on the bike and that's come up just as good, also a drainpipe that's always in the sun which is also like new. It's a versatile product and hopefully the effect will last, certainly well worth the money for what it does.

The curse of BMW/MINI faded trim... Easy to apply via a micro fibre applicator pad and massively improves, with immediate effect, any faded external trim. Quick buff over for exemplary results and gives a good 2 months or so longevity on a car I wash weekly during Autumn and Winter months. Spring and summer this will undoubtedly sustain the excellent finish for longer.

This is a great product for keeping your plastic trim looking good and keeping it protected. Although it suggests you can use this as a tyre product, its not that good. It will give it a matt look if that is what you are looking for. My advice is to keep it for the exterior plastic trim.

Don't speak fluent German so the instructions on the tube were a bit of a challenge but managed to get the gist of them, well I think I did, although it didn't taste very nice and I saw no improvement to my teeth at all. On the other hand the black plastic trim around the cars has never looked better. Don't worry about some of the comments regarding not being able to get it out of the tube. Place the tube in some warm water before use or leave it in your trousers pocket for a while and the gel flows freely. I have been astonished at how little you need to apply to cover a large area! When I say a little I mean an amount the size of a pea will easily cover the entire length of trim under the wipers of a LWB Range Rover Autobiography, from dark grey to black no problem. Have no idea how long it will remain black as I've not been using for long enough to say but easy to put on and with using so little very cost effective even if it has to be done every couple of weeks! Would like to be able to rate the longevity but maybe I'll come back when I have a much better idea. Other than that yet another good product from Sonax I also like their paintwork products, a lot.

Ho voluto provare questo prodotto viste le recensioni positive. L ho usato su plastiche non particolarmente invecchiate. L ho distribuito con una spugna da cucina Ne basta davvero poco e si stende davvero bene Dona subito brillantezza Appena dato rimane un po unto ma poi asciuga e dona brillantezza senza lasciare tracce di unto. Secondo me è un ottimo prodotto. Per la durata aggiornerò poi la recensione

Excellent product
