BEst back to black?

For long lasting? and that turns even grey back to black?

A heat gun

a heat gun is a good one yes.

other options include Black Wow, Meguiars #38 or autoglyms bumper gel. make sure to work the product in, and wipe off any residue.

You can also use the heat gun and apply any of the above products too, as some have done in the past, as it is meant to lengthen the effect of the gels.

he's moaning about the price of a tin of collinite so i think the tight scotchman will have a heart attack when he see's the price of a 4OZ bottle of black wow

but by all accounts it is the muts nuts when it comes to trim black (i'm actually going to order some this week)

meguiars

boot polish

Andy,

It is a good one, fair play. Used it on the plastic bumper inserts on the 206, just have to make sure its buffed off after being worked in fully, or it can streak and run, which happened to me 1st time i used it.

As for the price, yeah, it isnt cheap, but you really do use so little.

Its not so much the price of collite its the fact its hard work to do, i want an easy wax!

trust us it's not hard i can do my GP in about an hour or an hour and a half if doing all the door shuts


people say its hard to use as they get carried away and put WAY too much on remember only the product that makes contact with the paint bonds so any extra is just rubbed off

That Turtle Wax Liquid Polish does a damn good job of the whole car. No Residue, and can do the whole car in no time.

Can use it on all whole car. Very good polish/wax.

I use Chemicals guys new look trim gel its mint Dont need too much and lasts for ages

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/chemical-guys-new-look-trim-gel/prod_143.html

i actually found that
Wd40 / cheap Supermarket versions
Do a good job on darkened the bumpers, but since its oil, it eventually wash's off

When doing my mums picasso - i got Men'z FF2 on her handle, i rubbed it in, and it did come out darker and more sparkly!

Also found that Car Lack LLS - Also seemed to darken the black stuff
But the LLS i dont think could cling on well....

Autoglym Bumper Care is fantastic on external plastics and tyre walls.
It is a Gel. Water beeds right off the plastic.

I use a small sponge to apply. I also use it on faded red seatbelt release buttons.

Oh yeah its safe on paint so if you accidently get it on paint it just wipes off with a damp cloth.

I used it on;
Mirrors, Bumper strips, door pillar, scuttle panel, lower front gril, all the plastic in the engine bay, tyre walls, mud guards.

The results are perfectly even and ive had no streaking.

You do have to shake the bottle a lot before you get started because it seperates when still.
