In shortBlack-plastic restoration brings faded, chalky exterior trim back to a deep black. We strip old dressings and grime, prepare the surface, then apply a bonding restorative treatment that penetrates the plastic rather than sitting on top — so it lasts through washes instead of one or two. Ideal for bumpers, cladding, mirror caps, cowls and window surrounds.
Exterior plastic trim fades and greys with UV exposure and weathering, making an otherwise clean car look tired.
Black plastic restoration cleans, prepares and treats suitable trim surfaces to restore depth and a consistent finish.
Bumper trim, mirror housings, cladding and cowls lose their colour over time. Ordinary dressings often wear off within a wash or two.
UV breaks down the surface of the plastic and oxidises it, and repeated washing strips the oils. The result is a chalky, light-grey layer.
No. A dressing sits on top and washes off. A restorative treatment is cleaned into prepared plastic and bonds, so it survives many washes.
Usually, yes. Severe cases may need two applications; genuinely degraded or cracked plastic may need replacement, which we’ll tell you.
No — the aim is a factory-style satin black, even across all the trim, not a wet shine.

Failed dressings and the loose oxidised layer removed first.
Worked into prepared plastic — it penetrates, not just coats.
Even, deep black across all trim — not a wet shine.
Slows the re-fade so results last months, not one wash.
Bumpers, cladding, mirror caps, cowls, roof rails, window surrounds.
A short job that visibly takes years off an older car.
Every result begins before the product reaches the vehicle. Preparation is what separates ordinary from premium.
Assess fading and suitability for restoration.
Deep clean the trim to remove old dressing and grime.
Prepare the surface for treatment.

Level the finish and remove excess.
Check for an even, consistent result.
Even, deep-black trim makes an older car instantly look years newer.
The failure is at the surface: an oxidised, porous layer of plastic with the plasticisers baked out. A quick dressing masks it briefly, then rinses away with the next wash.
We first remove the old product and the loose oxidised layer with a dedicated cleaner so the treatment has sound plastic to work with.
The restorative is then worked in and, on some products, gently heat-set. It penetrates the top layer and bonds, restoring colour and UV resistance from within rather than coating the surface.

It’s a short standalone service or a small add-on to a detail. Ask for the current price when you book.
Months rather than one wash, because the treatment bonds into the plastic. We’ll advise on upkeep.
Usually yes, sometimes with two applications. Genuinely degraded or cracked plastic may need replacement, which we’ll tell you.
No — the aim is an even, factory-style satin black across all the trim, not a wet shine.
A sample of feedback from AK Car Studio customers in Mumbai. Replace with your verified reviews before launch.
Booked an inspection, got a clear quote with no pressure, and the car came back exactly when they said. The finish is genuinely better than new.
What stood out was the walkthrough at handover — they showed me what was done and how to look after it. Very professional outfit.
I’ve used a few detailers in the city. This is the first one that treated preparation as the actual job. Worth every rupee.
