Trim help needed!!

[BenadetH]

Hello guys!

Im getting sooo frustrated with the textured bits of trim like the back bumber strip, exhaust surrounds, wing mirror trim, front fog light surrounds, front splitter...

I use wd40, and a few other back to black style products. Nothing seems to work that well...especially on the exhaust surrounds that just seem to want to stay stained...

What do you use?

This is a semi-permanent plastic restorer, search my name and find my project thread if you want to see how the application and finish looks like.

Edit, the exhaust surrounds with the heat... C4 has worked well on the surrounds but i think a fully permanent solution would be to remove and spray in a high temp black.

Its either C4 as a permanent solution or Autofinesse do a gel based trim product which is the best ive used. £8 for the AF or £30 for the C4. I wouldnt consider much else.

Either way, they need cleaning up well with a good APC and toothbrush and if you can a wipedown with alcohol.

AF revive is the best non permanent dressing I've used, but struggled on the front splitter against the elements, still holding after initial application everywhere else.

If the exhaust surrounds have really dried out anything will struggle to bring them back to life, so I painted mine.

C4 is expensive but if it does what it says on the tin its worth the money. But application isn't as simple as a normal trim dressing

If you do go for C4 read up on the advice on how to apply and clean the surface ect... vitally important.

As above, C4 or AF Revive.
