Good man! I watched the follow up too. I have been pretty unimpressed with Armour All lately but I seem to remember that it was a lot better 25 years ago than it is now.
I did the linseed oil/thinner mixture on my plastic on my hummer bumpers and it looked awesome but seemed to wash away over night due to rain. Does this stuff dry? It seemed mine stayed kind of oily. How long did yours hold up without the thinner?
For me, since I already had the stuff to make my undercoating I tried equal amounts of boiled linseed and pure tung oils and melted some beeswax toilet bowl ring into into it to make a paste and it seemed to work just fine.
Thanks I did this as I have tried other things over the last couple years this really looks so much better Thank you! I also watched a month later video on this! Again Thank you!
i just mix a batch in a jar 50/50 and put lid on and shake...i use a paint brush and cotton rag to apply... wipe and rub in... it is fast and best look...just not sure how long it lasts...but even a month would be amazing...its so easy to do and i have a feeling its very good for plastics and rubber... plus i think it will repel crap and dirt from sticking... Today is first time i tried and sooo far it seems like a winner... again how long it lasts and if rain and hard sun effect it in 2 days i don't know...
instead of using boiled linseed oil,use Penetrol(an oil paint additive) with paint thinner....Penetrol is a much better product than boiled linseed oil...Try this method sometime....thanks
Forget the Linseed Oil and Paint Thinner combo, forget WD40, forget 'em all... All you'll ever need for "everything" is Inox Lubricant Spray MX3-5 (derived from Lanolin). Vehicle tyres, electricals including motors, penetrates for rusty seized items etc, lubricant etc, etc... it doesn't harm rubber it nourishes and protects. Why have up to a dozen products when you can have something to replace them all, iv'e been using it for years and it blows the rest of them out of the water... it's by far the best nourisher for vehicle tyres bar none!!!
Hi sir. Please guide me about this product for restoring pumper. Can we restore car tyre? And please guide me a latest chemical for restoring faded black.
interesting...I've tried mineral oil also ATF on my 95's rear bumper both seemed to work well but they didn't last more than a few weeks. I'm going to try the linseed oil also.
I didn’t have any luck with it on soft rubbers. I would suggest a ceramic based tire shine. I started using Armor All ceramic tire coating and have had good luck with it. It looks great and lasts much longer. Doesn’t wash off fast like silicone based tire shines.
No. I have tried a few headlight restoring kits, my experience with following the directions is that the results only last a few months. The plastic just gets ages by the heat of the sun and the light bulbs. Now I just replace with aftermarket assemblies. I recommend using Meguiar’s headlight protectant on all plastic light lens to help keep them from turning. LED bulbs cut down on heat too.
The best way to restore headlights , use auto body rubbing compound . It will Take off the fade oxidation look. Polish on with a rag, buff off with a dry towel.
I drive southeast dirt roads on a regular basis, had no problems with dust sticking in it. Linseed oil isn’t sticky when dry if it’s been boiled and processed. Regular linseed oil is very tacky.

Armour All stinks
So I did this without the thinner and it works miracle wish I could of the post before and after picture and here bro it works
I’m going to try that out next!

i did this 50/50 today...seems amazing but did yours last a couple of days or weeks? thanks
It's still looking good now it never when white again yet it was a new car @@mikebas7325
50/50 is best for restoring and protection imo...
Don’t forget about the rag afterwards, it is very flammable. Burn it when done.
For me, since I already had the stuff to make my undercoating I tried equal amounts of boiled linseed and pure tung oils and melted some beeswax toilet bowl ring into into it to make a paste and it seemed to work just fine.
Linseed oil is a main ingredient in a product call Wipe New. As seen on tv.
I've come back to comment and like, as promised. Thanks again for this useful information.
I used a spray can of canola oil on my Volvo plastic bumper and it made it look brand new. But when the rain hit it it went back to looking faded.
I will try canola on my 92 Volvo Summer here in New england no rain
Thanks I did this as I have tried other things over the last couple years this really looks so much better Thank you! I also watched a month later video on this! Again Thank you!
I used the same mix to bring the color back on faded and whitened clearcoat. Lasts about 6 months.

Great videos. I watched both this and the follow up. Looks like linseed oil works better then Armorall and other similar treatments. Thanks again. :)
Works great on Weathertech floor mats!
be careful, the rag will heat up and can catch fire if left balled up. Lay out flat to dry.
I love this technique. I use it for the power wheels cars I restore.
instead of using boiled linseed oil,use Penetrol(an oil paint additive) with paint thinner....Penetrol is a much better product than boiled linseed oil...Try this method sometime....thanks
How long does the new finish last last with Penetrol? monthly application?
Penetrol is mighty spendy.
I like mine shaken not stirred

Great video. Excited for the follow up.
How long does it last?
Hi sir. Please guide me about this product for restoring pumper. Can we restore car tyre?
And please guide me a latest chemical for restoring faded black.
ANY oil works. PERIOD.
I use olive oils and lemon juice 50/50
How long can it last?
Spray some wd 40 in the mix, just a shot.
For how long did it hold up?
Power written on a power socket LOL. Good video though. Thanks!
Be warned! The rag used will self ignite and start a fire if not disposed of properly!
My uncle self ignited 😅

Does this work on tyre sides too?

Same as M Martinez
How long does this last? Yearly reapplication?
More like monthly --also attracts dust
does it only work on black plastic?
So far that’s all I’ve tried it on
Rain doesnt wash it away?
No
realistically anything you use will age off with weather and time, and will need reapplication
Would lacquer thinner work? instead of paint thinner
No. It might damage the plastic.
Lolololol not hardly
Where's the follow up vid chief?
Slang. In the process of editing it now
@@MikesGarage96 great, thanks.

Take off the fade oxidation look. Polish on with a rag, buff off with a dry towel.
Imagine how nice it would have been if you had washed the truck first...
This is a terrible idea! When you drive through red dust or red mud the plastic absorbs the red oxide and is impossible to get rid of.
I drive southeast dirt roads on a regular basis, had no problems with dust sticking in it. Linseed oil isn’t sticky when dry if it’s been boiled and processed. Regular linseed oil is very tacky.
Not if it is dry
“Eyeballing it” is the same thing as using your eyes...
olive oil
Why use thinners please ?😎🍷🚍⚓️🇬🇧
It make linseed oil not sticky
To promote drying.
