How can I make these look good?

Hey,

I am selling my Fiesta ZS and there is a few bits that look old and warn.

What can I use to "bring them back to life", also how can I remove the tar spray?

Cheers :approve:

As you asked the question i'm assuming you're not into car cleaning and have no products so i'm going to advise you based on cheap stuff for a quick fix before a sale.

The rubber and plastic trims, use some petrol/white spirit on a rag and wipe over it in one smooth motion. Brings them up like new. It will need protecting to make it last, but you're selling it so don't bother.

The rear drums need a good going over with a wire brush and some black hammerite to look nice and fresh.

And for the tar, I'd use Tar and glue remover. (Can get some from halfords)

Pretty sure tardis would remove the tar, Daniel's got it spot on up there ^

I'd also just like to express my 'wtfness' at that! Was you rallying over a freshly layed road that was still hot or something lol.

All of the above

I find black shoe polish works a treat on old/worn looking rubber bits, and lasts longer than the back to black rubbish IMO.

I don't know if they all work but I use this

Yer the tar thing.............lol.

Was driving down a back lane of loose chippings one day and the next day i went down it had another layer on top and didnt realise they had tar'd underneath!
