Post subject:  Plastic "blacker"

I've finally settled on DoDo Juice 'Supernatural' for blacking up my tyres and the window rubbers (and am very happy with the results) but I now need something for the plastic trim as the Supernatural tyre dressing causes streaks onto the paintwork in the rain and looks patchy afterwards (but fine when first applied). Any suggestions please??

TIA

Hi Tallguy,

I use this stuff.

http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/shop/brite ... ssing.html

It works on tyres just as well as dashboards, rubber trim, etc.

Failing that Son Of A Gun is quite good too.

All the best,

RDO

Polytrol, see Ken's 944T photo restoration thread, it's a bit pricey to start with but it doesn't run or wash off.

Gtechniq T1 is the best stuff I've used on tyres, but having seen the results of C4 for trim it's amazing and lasts for ages.

I use autoglym Bumper and trim gel, (its the only autoglym product I use). It works great on anything black including plastic and rubber. Not a ridiculous price and lasts well.

I did my batwing and sill trims on my 944, I also use it on the plastic trim on my old freelander as its basically a dye its been fine for the last 10 months.

Hi Tallguy

For my detailing work I use Gtechniq C4, This will restore the surface to a more natural as new finish rather than to try and over black it as some of the cheaper finishes do. It is also much more permanent as a coating than some of the others. Easy to use and I use it on customers cars and my own Boxster.

David.

Auto Finesse's "http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-and-exterior/exterior-trim-plastic-care/auto-finesse-revive-trim-dressing/prod_952.html" is very good/long lasting for restoring plastics to a factory look & not too expensive at around £8 for 500 ml. The reason trim parts fade is the oils within the plastic dry out so anything oil based will work to bring back the finish.

Be careful that what you perceive to be oil based is not in fact Silicon, Silicon and paintwork do not go together. Lower cost products are likely to contain Silicon as the base. If you have ever had sun cream on your paintwork you'll know the problem. Likewise avoid those lovely shiny tyre wall finishes !
