Bump Strip Blackening

[DJDannyB]

Ive finally got round to giving my car a good clean today as i havent had a chance since i bought it last week. Ive cleaned and polished it and im really pleased! The only thing i need now is some sort of back to black for the bump strips as they are faded/going grey. I would like them a nice shiny black like new. Does anyone recommend anything i could buy to do this???

Also, I need some good polish for the interior so my dash will look nice and shiny too

Cheers

wd40 does the job, put a bit on a cloth and just wipe it over

[Ferg]

Meguiars or Autoglym Bumper Care is good stuff.

if you got any nutless peanut butter in those house rub it on and then clean it off, natural oils in it give a good long lasting shine , as siad wd40 does the job and also cooking oil if you want to do it on the cheap ha

[pimpin-vtr-boi]

wd40 doesnt last long, get sum autoglym bumper care and gice the bottle a real gud shake before and they will cum up great

autoglym bumper care is what i use and can reccomend it to anyone

i SWEAR by Megs gold class bumper shine.

Apply one coat and leave for 15 mins and wipe the thick off, then repeat.

i only put it on once every 2-3 months

yea just for the plastics and bump strips mate, i also find it VERY good to use under the bonnet on plastic covers (ecu cover, fuse box etc etc) also use megs tire gel on rubber hoses under there

As for halfords doing it im 99% sure they do, but i did get mine from Euro Car Parts

EDIT - also you can use it on the sunroof surround, basically ALL exterior plastics really lol apart from painted items of corse

[Saxo_Steveo]

Awesome mate cheers might have to buy me some and have a ' Cleaning Day '

[Spanky]

Black wow is supposed to be great stuff but is about £25 a bottle.

If I wanted the same effect I would go look for a valetter and offer him money for a can I buy it by the box at about 50p a can, and it does the job for exterior (tyres bump strips etc etc) And everywhere in my interior and smeels good also as you can choose the scent haha
