My mates dad works for smiths and he does it all the time, says it works a treat - he did it on his lads car and seemed to bring them back to dark grey-ish from white

just remember to keep the plastic wet when heating it up so it doesnt warp the plastic.

its not naughty to jet wash your car at all in the detailing world
i use forever black tire gel on mine, so far lasted about 3 months and still a nice black, chipped a bit but thats due to heavy rain and motorway driving. Worth a punt

jet washing is naughty!!!! drives dirt etc into the paintwork, and if you have the pressure up too high it'll also be baaad for paintwork.
jeez, a lot of people use a wool wash mitt cos sponges are too harsh lol!
