The wheel arches on my 1993 Sri Corsa are fading away. I have search for older posts and I can only find one where ajscorsa suggested to use a heat gun, has an1 tried it?
How long does it last the effect? Is there a better method? Sorry for all the questions

Do you mean the plastics are going white?
You can rub 'bumper black' into them. Will make them nice again.
Or do what i'm doing and paint them.

use a paint stripper gun, take the arches off and use the paint stripper on them the heat melts the surface and takes them back to black, they will stay like that for a long time too
