Sweet mate! excellent reflections. But the task is now to try and keep it like that for at least a week because it is black.

i use meguairs trim detailer for my bumpers and sides comes out realy nice. mines black aswell. black and scratches dont work very together very well do they. wonder why they didnt use a black primer when they do cars black be much easyer to hide the scratches.

16th August 2006, 23:36

trim detailer u say well i'll search around for sum cash an see if i can purchase some.

(not the best quality was using my fone and it was through a window AND photobucket seems to have made it worse)

Shouldn't do - I see a lot of comments on here about rain ruining finishes. It doesn't on my cars! The rain just beads off and sheets away, it's been raining for a week solid here and my car still looks great. Get enough coats of a decent protective product on, and the finish will be preserved. :)
