Does bumper burning work? Find out.

OK, I read a few weeks ago that one way to rejuvinate your grey saggy bumpers was to take a heat gun to them and gently warm them up until they come back to life! Well, with nothing to lose I thought I'd try it on a small patch on my bumper. I couldn't find my hot air gun so I decided to fit the hot air nozzle to my butane gas soldering bolt. Well it certainly darkens the bumper and keeps the original texture if you don't overdo it. With a bit more practice and less wind outside it should work pretty good. Here's what it looks like.
