Restoring Rubbers and other black trim

[clk320x]

Car went to bodyshop and since its returned where they have masked the car off etc around the rubbers some have discoloured slightly and become whitish..

Anyone know any products which can restore them back to black?

Same applies for the black plastic... in some areas

Cheers

Gummi-Pflege is excellent on the rubbers.

The black plastic can be brought back using a product from gteching

Probably worth making sure any overspray or compound residue has been removed before cleaning them up?

I've heard of people using boiled Linseed oil on car plastics to good effect but never tried it myself. Autoglym bumper dye is on the shelf at Halfords and does an ok job but perhaps doesn't last as long as these more specialised products?

Compounds are used with rotary machine polishers and are like t cut. Being white they can mess up your otherwise black bumpers ;-)

If they have masked up to the rubbers then they have done a poor job. Its not your job to finish their work.

Completely valid point but it doesn't make financial sense for me to go back etc when it's unlikely they'll do as good or thorough a job restoring them as I'd do myself

It does make financial sense. It will cost nothing to you for them to fix it. If you fix it it will cost you.

Post a pic up. Lets have a look.
