Hello all,
I have an 1978 Trans Am ( I know it's not the high end cars most talk about here) but I love her and want to make it look as good as new. Anyway the fan shroud is in good shape but tired. I have given it a good degreasing and want it to look factory new. I DON'T want to paint it, Any suggestions on what to use? thanks for any help, Robin Bailer Destin,Fl
 
I have used 303 Protectant on plastic in the engine compartment with some success. If its badly faded Adam's In and Out works pretty well but its effects are temporary. Just be careful to cover the radiator etc when you spray it. I recently ordered some Muc-off product that is supposed to be more permanent for faded plastic.
 
I would look into a dye. It will make it look great once it's done.

The plastics under the hood of my 77 Olds 442 have faded so that's why I suggest this. If it's not faded then a protectant would be good. I like UTTG or 303 is good too
 
I 2nd the dye, but if your against painting, I wonder if a product like Poorboy Trim Restorer would work better than a dressing?
Btw, all vehicles are welcome here. The super cars and exotics are apparently the new flavor, but don't let that stop you from posting pics or writeups of anything.
 
The '77-'78 Firebird's are SUPERCARS, IMO! Eastwood company used to make/sell a nice vinyl and plastic dye kit that looks amazing. 3M Bondo also sells a trim dye that works well (and lasts a long time).
 
Thanks, for the information the shroud has matte and gloss areas on it I guess I'm not opposed to dying it if it makes it look factory correct. Also thanks for the positive comments on the T/A. I'll post some pictures later today.
