If the unpainted plastic bumpers appear dull and discoloured due to sun exposure and the aging of the plastic, there is a quick and economical method to restore their shine. This method can also be applied to all plastic elements inside the cabin, such as the scuff plate or door panel trim.

Essentially, heat the plastic with a heat gun, ensuring to apply heat evenly and not linger too long in one spot, as this could deform the plastic. The heat will restore colour to the plastic, making it appear to sweat; this method will also reduce small scratches.
