Very careful with 3M. Any over spray on plastic parts will strip off its paint/dye.

>> body shop prep solve or mineral spirits any of them? even the one from HD?

I went with Krylon fusion and turned out nicely. I tried it both on those inserts and vent plastic grill. I did make little mistakes like bubble etc (wrong temperature?) but managed to get that out using acetone and re-apply again. Thanks mrnextel! Next, will apply some Carpro DLUX

Dave, I can't polish those vent cavity unless I get Rupes iBrid (hmm...) or something. dye or plastic paint are my two options. I washed them today. no change in color. so looks like permanently stained?

I was thinking the same... more pads, towels and another wheel cleaner or water less wash brand. I was keep creating different carts filled with stuff and then nah.. let's use/finish the stuff in the garage.... close the browser... depression. come back again

Looks like I'm going to try Nextzett ColorTec. Has iron remover, reasonable ph (!?!) and not expensive...

What level of ph is good?

yet to try it. Meanwhile, while I was waiting for a replacement scoop, I took the other scoop off from the car since I wasn't happy with the install. What an idiot! Again, while removing the silicone residue from the body panel, I used 3M adhensive remover. I sprayed on the area above where the...

Will give it a try. Is it heat resistant?

That vent looks nice! Thanks LSN! I've DLUX. Anything you don't like about the forever black dye?

I was browsing ag site and found forever black dye Forever Black restores a dark, black, finish on sun-faded bumpers and body moldings. Forever Black permanently dyes black plastic, rubber and vinyl. Do you think it could work?

LSN & Dave - I was not saying that was glue. The glue/epoxy damage is around the plastic on the body panel. You might be able to see it. This discoloured plastic I believe was due to one of the chemical I used (method APC, 3M adhesive remover, griot's paint prep, car pro ironx). I was basically...

I had perfectly fine vents. I tried to install the air scoops myself. It required applying glue to the edge of it. For better fit, I used some epoxy as well. The install went OK on one side. Though the fit wasn't perfect with bit exposed glue etc. The picture is above. The other side install was...

here it is from 3' and also the other side which was OK job. Could have been more snug fit. I screwed it up in couple of places. I could see the white glue :( (sorry I don't know why the pictures orientation change after I insert them) I think it doesn't look black when wet. It was block...

I messed up during air scoop installation on my car. Then I went onto make more mess by removing the side vents for cleaning during all the glue/epoxy mess made I made during installation. During cleanup I tried plastic deep cleaner, 3M adhesive remover etc. For some reason, the vent plastic...
