Spent a few hours cleaning the 182... how do i get the black bits black?

[buzzer1955]

I have spent a few hours cleaning my car but some of the black plastic bits are still dull and show the marks where i have polish on them, what do you guys use to clean the black bits?

you mean where the mirrors are etc? I use back to black like a polish/spray. most places sell it like halfords it is good. terry

Have a look in the detailing forum for trim detailers. There are a lot of threads, with the same questions asked almost daily - should be of some help.

Yeah i use Back to Black on my splitter mirror sides door handles below wipers etc It does the trick mate and if your cars black (Like mine) makes it look colour coded... nearly haha

Back to black lasts around 7.3 seconds in the rain.

The AutoGlym Bumper Care is not bad as a basic product. But there are much better products out there.

Pretty much this.

Apart from the better products bit. Not that I doubt it's veracity, it's just that I am not sufficiently anal about my black bits to spend lots of money on fancier products.

ok seriously just try these, to remove the polish white residue etc. use either a rubber (yup old school pencil type) or peanut butter,

seriously they work.
