Re: Back to black???

I love this stuff, does wonders for your bumpers etc, my mums punto is the ones that the bumper is all black, and her car is black as well, sprayed the whole bumper and when my dad saw it, he thought my mum had gone out and bought a brand new colour coded bumper lol.

Spray it wisely though, you can get carried away and does tend to go everywhere especially on a windy day. Not good on paint work really especially after you put some polish on it. For small areas, spray it on some cloth or even a tissue and just wipe it on there

Good stuff and cheap, would recommend it

Re: Back to black???

Ive used it on the panels between the window, as these tend to get very worn out. To be honest it didnt do the trick for me.

Re: Back to black???

I used to use it on my old Pug 106 and it did wonders for it, nothing like having jet black bumpers on what was a red car.

I'm the same as
'im2welsh4u' now in having colour coded bumpers and so only use it on the mirrors, by the looks of it we have exactly the same cars actually.

Re: Back to black???

I used Black to Black for years but didn't like the tear runs you get if i rained.

I now use the Bumper Black Cream i think its called that, you apply it to a damp cloth, rumb it in, when dry slighly buff. You get a nice shine and it lasts longer than B2B and no tear runs when it rains

You can use it on all black tims.

Yeah, looks exactly the same as mine, but mines 16v
It's a great car, i loves it!!!

Do you have the factory fitted sub, and cd controls on the steeringwheel?
Was they standard, or did the person who had it first pay extra for them?

Re: Back to black???

it has the fittings and connections for the sub in the back but there was none in it when I bought it, it does have the steering controls though, they were standard. Does your one have a small pillar for a 3 point centre seatbelt because it doesn't look standard, although it could well be. How much bhp does the 16v have?
