Cleaning the silver side 'bullets'...

[martandem]

Hey people,

Quick question - my silver side bullets have a lot of dirt and cr*p on them that just wont lift off during washing.

I know they are only a cheap plastic so don't want to use anything to harsh on them or discolour/mark them...

Any tips on how to get them up good as new?
Thanks!

Clay bar seems good, gets in all the corners.

yeah, will try that, although only clay i have is unopened and wanted to save it until i do the whole car! I guess i could just chop a bit off the edge?....
Any other suggestions?

I don't think you're meant to use a whole bar in one go! I just slice off a bit at a time.

I was wondering that, I have a tube that i use on the exhausts all the time... was worried that it may discolour the plastic though? It's meant for metals and chromes, and the bullets are only cheap plastic?!

LOL, there was me thinking you used it like a bar of soap!

Why use metal polish on then on them ? They are only silver painted plastic.

Wash, AG Tar Remover, Clay, AG SRP.

Just spray some APC and work it with a brush - should do the trick! If not, tar remover too. Sorted.
