Black trim?

[Tom B]

so what do you guys use to keep the puma's black window trim looking healthy and new? Mine are currently a dull black with some mouldy crap growing on them Its letting my car down

What do you guys use to keep them looking shiney?

cheers!

Give them a good scrub with some APC and a detailing brush (the brush that comes with WonderWheels is good, just make sure it's clean!

Then spray ome more APC onto a cloth and scrub like mad (cloth will probably go black!)

Dry off, then Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel looks the nuts. Small amount on a cloth, rub in, then buff off after about 10 minutes.

I used chenical guys bug n tar remover. (4 capfulls in a bucket of water) washed the whole car with it putting no real effort in anywhere n notice when rinsed off n dried that it looked much better.

I use turtle wax - black in a flash 0 inly need the smallest of drops

other than that sometimes I just use wax - does the same job really

Iv used bumper care and wasnt impressed. It didnt last long and was too greasy

both with chemical guys new look trim gel. It does run after a few weeks though, so best to seal it in with wax, then you get

Seem's good stuff badger, how long does it last?

I've not really kept note tbh, it doesn't run when it rains and I just give it a top up when I'm waxing etc... probably 2 - 3 months?!

Its not sticky which is a bonus as well.

It can be used on the interior as well Oh and it smells goooood

as i am a car valeter we know all the tricks.
i use cherry sheen silicon spray. is top notch stuff or if u can get ur hands on some tyre black rubber treatment it is jst as gud for the rubber strips its simp[ly jst paint or rub on an the finish should last easily a month in all weather conditions :grin: the cherry sheen can also br used on all your interior plastics
