| Prospeed Roof Rack - Loss of Gloss |
|
Hi all,
Some time ago I took my Disco into an indy to have some major work done (body off...glow plugs!).
While they had it, they helpfully gave it a wash for me. Lovely. Only problem is whatever they used on the plastic front valance of the Prospeed roof rack has turned it from a lovely smooth gloss finish into a rough matt finish. I didn't really notice at the time as it had been raining.
I didn't bother to challenge it as I had already had problems with the gear shifter being broken and loose, which they claim they didn't remove when the body came off (thoughts?). Great mechanics, but a bit messy!
Any ideas what on earth they put on there, and how I can restore the gloss shine again? (Permanently, I've tried various bottles of stuff which is only a temporary fix until it washes off).
Cheers.

Possibly used traffic fill remover which can attack some plastics.
Perhaps try using something like T cut to polish it back up again MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

MY11 D4 HSE Stornaway Grey Sold and gone

Hi Russell,
Sounds about right. It was certainly something aggressive to do what it did.
Any particular T-Cut product? Or do you mean the standard for paintwork in black?
