Black trim restorer?

[Ads_172]

Through being incredibly lazy with the polish and wax, all my external black plastic trim areas are now white... door handles, rear bumper insert, bump strips, mirror surrounds, etc.

What's the best stuff to properly rejuvenate them? I don't want something that'll just show the white through again once it fades, I want something to get it black again... and Back To Black is rubbish.

Einzett Plastic Cleaner, followed by AG Bumper Care.

Alex at SP is selling a Duragloss Wax eraser that may be woth while if they are really white.

Thanks mate, think I might give the Duragloss a go, my black bits are remarkably white!

there is a wax eraser on autopia, probs very similar to the one rich has suggested, ie it blasts the wax off.

then add AG bumper care

I bought some Wax Eraser but it didn't do anything for me, don't think I was doing it wrong either. Meg's #38 is probably the best I've used so far but it requires some elbow grease.

it probs need something like a dressing on top of the wax blaster, anyone else tried it?

I didn't get rid of the white bits otherwise I would have put something on to dress it like the CG New Look Trim Gel.

Non of these so called trim restorers seem to work , they just mask the white marks for a few days possibly a week or two . I tried one of these wax removal products with minimal success .

Best thing i've found that removes / masks any white wax marks is WD40 , use a bit of cloth and elbow grease for the best results .

that also works, or so i have been told, never tried it myself

i have the duragloss wax remover.... works well, but you need to really work it.

CHeck this pic... the fog surround... i missed the bottom bit, but it did a really good job on the rest of it...

PS. I think that Auto Glym is still 3 for 2 in Halfords...just in case!

smooth peanut butter works! has to be smooth stuff tho

 

[an02rew]

i just use autoglym, vinyl and rubber care, works well after a few washes as it begins to build up a protective layer.

 

[makavelli]

as mrbillyuk says, just rub a bit of WD40 on and jobs a good un
