Plastic dressing front bumper inserts
Panthera:
Morning all,
What technique do you use to apply a plastic dressing onto the grey honeycomb bumper inserts (Fog light pieces) as I am struggling.
I am currently using Gtechniq T1 Tyres and Trim - which I find to be brilliant at giving a nice shine on the tyre sidewalls and skirts, lower half of the rear bumper, but most importantly it keeps the shine on the tyres for the longest. I apply this 'gel' using a tyre applicator sponge.
So how do people dress these parts - highlighted?
I thought about a spray, but that would go everywhere, no matter how careful you where.

Might be the lazy boy approach but I've always just used the spray and wiped away any excess from the paint work(usually so minimal that I never have to do it). The key is to do it without wind direction (i.e. in a garage) and with delicate application.
I have tried using an old detailing brush but found it still left quite a bit of excess in the honey comb, so I figured the spray was the easier method with minimal clean up. I have also had some success by using a microfibre demist pad (which is what I use for the rest of the flat plastic), but again with residue. And of course if you don't remove the excess residue you pick up all kinds of dirt when driving which just sticks to the gel.

Easier to unscrew the mounting bolts and remove surely?
