Restoring/Protecting Black Plastic Trim

[Sir_Dave]

Essentially im looking for something that will keep the black bits black - currently use Turtle Wax tyre gel, which does work, but not for very long lol. Im not a detailer (by any stretch of the imagination), but i will be cleaning the GP every couple of weeks & doing the black bits adds a good 20-25 mins, which i cant be bothered with really.

As you can see, ALOT of black plastic. Arches, side skirts, front/rear bumpers.

​Thoughts appreciated.

Carpro Dlux. Sticky has the discount code mate.

That or Gtechniq C4. On the mini's ignore everything else.

Oh and 1 tip, Dave. Prep is key. Follow the s**t to the letter and you'll go 12 months without re-applying the plastic.

Turtle Wax ? Bless.

C4 FTW. As above.

C4 Dave. Seen 24 months on the Panzer. Not that you'll keep the bini that long haha!

You already have your answer

Never noticed the awkward join between wheel arch and bumper on he GP compared to a Normal S

I tried C4 on the wife's corsa and I must have done it wrong because it hardly did anything!

I followed the info guide?

C4 Dave.

C4 or DLUX it is then lol. When you say prep, what else will i need, assume its to do with cleaning the surfacing before applying?

Links to product/guides would be much appreciated x

Yup, is because there's no 'black plastic trim' on the GP's front bumper.

Clean thoroughly with an all purpose cleaner, then use IPA or panel wipe to remove any remaining oils or grease etc

If you buy enough, you can used the above mentioned products on wheels also to resist 99.9% of brakedust
