The dad with a clean car whose bumper trim and mirror caps have gone grey and chalky
What it is
A six-piece Bowden’s Own kit for the black plastic and rubber on a car: trim restorer, protectant, applicators and cloths, boxed. Sold new from Sydney with free postage and returns accepted.
Why we picked it
Faded grey plastic is the single thing that makes a well-kept car look old, and it is the one part nobody polishes because polish does nothing to it. This is the fix, and it is dramatic in a way paintwork products rarely are: bumper trim, mirror housings and window surrounds go from chalky grey back to black in an afternoon. Boxed as a kit, so it opens like a present rather than like a shopping list.
