Bumper Shine, Back to Black

I have used halfords back 2 black, turtlewax bumper etc. but when ive polished car etc and applied the bumper shine it lopoks good, but when it rains the bumper shine on the bumper trim smear onto paintwork. is there any alternative i can use that doesnt smear onto car when it rains. like a non-drip back2black.

you could try the 'back to black' aerosol versions. The turtlewax make is very good.

I use it and it doesn't seem to smear after rain.

hi, for your info i've just been doing artwork for a new halfords product 'black right back' we make the product at my work, its good stuff, just as good as (if not not better than) the turtle wax 'black in a flash' which we also do.

p.s. the car on the front of the 'black right back' can is my gf's punto, which i had to digitally make yellow.

should be in the halfords stores in around a month or so.

sorry for boring you with that!!!

si

ive used the halfords aerolsol cand and even black in a flash from tutle wax, it smears onto the bodywor when it rains

I dunno what you can be doing wrong then. I've used both the aerosol and the polishing waxes and never had any smearing onto the paint work. And my car is yellow so it would be noticable a mile away if it was smearing


I'm puzzled sorry

my cars black, ive got a black 1.8hlx. when it rains the stuff smears off the trim n bumpers and elaves noticable marks on the bodywork under it. until i wash again.

You could build up layers of Amorall http://automotive.hardwarestore.com/...nt-142422.aspx

It cleans most thing on the car and lasts ages, £6 or £7 from Halfrauds and lasts ages.

Or you could use boot polish but don't get it one the paintwork, if you do, use white spirit to get it off.

i use

151 bumper black pack i think its called goes on really easy coz its a spray and the colour is mint i used this on my very faded clio bumpers like a light-medium grey they come out black

Hi ive been a valeter for over 14 years and in that time have lerned a few tricks of the trade.
belive it or not most of you will have some stoof lying around your house that does a great job, i will list two bellow, try emm you will be amazed.

1) wd40
2) vaseline

doesnt wd40 dmage paintowork when it rains and smears onto paintowork

i spray wd40 onto the paint directly removes stuff like glue then i wash it off with soapy water jobs done never damaged any of my paint work

no wd 40 wont damage your paint the idea is to spray it directly onto your rag / cloth then apply it to the bumpers / vinyle

WD40 was origiannly designed to leave a layer on missles to stop them rusting, WD standing for water dispersant and 40 cos it took 40 attempts to get right.

And as for the stuff running on the car, use Auto Glym bumper polish/gel? (can't remember then name) and use as directed it will not run as you polish it off after applying.

My wife has a punto sporting ,black so it shows up everything.
Best yet is Autoglym instant tyre dressing on a rag
works for me (as she never washes it )

dont see point of cleaning a tyre lol it will get diry agen as soon as u move lol
