try some 303 Aerospace protectant, it might take a few applications but it will make it look like new!!

that is a pic of my lip, I use 303 on it.

I just spray a bit on a rag then wipe it down. I have used the mothers stuff, but it just washes away when it rains.

Try this: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=625564

I made that thread when I did the bumpers on my EF and i'll probably do it on the same piece you're talking about on my Integra.




Here's how the front bumper looked


After some painting
