sarge, The rear quarter window rubbers were looking very faded. The Kiwi Polish made it look so much better.

I do not feel that this car is ready to be entered into a contest - yet. Have seen the gorgeous cars the people on this site own. Makes mine look very plain! Perhaps after i fit some decent alloy wheels and maybe a mild body kit it might be up to scratch.

Ive used Meguiars back to black with success. It does remove the wax and put a nice uv-resistant coating on the black surfaces. If I get any on the paint, a paper towel with quickie touchup spray wax works well to remove it.

Meguirs back to black is a good product but it fades and leavea a white residue ( ie wax). The best I've seen is the kiwi shoe polish

Stoner's Trim Shine is what I use on my black plastic trims. I gets out the wax residue as well as putting down a nice protective shine. I spray it directly on the surface with a microfibre rag to buff it in. Also I use the rag to help direct the spray by covering areas I don't want it, such as on the glass or waxed finish. Great stuff and really easy to work with.

Not to bump an old(er) thread, but mlumz or anyone else who's tried, how effective is the peanut oil at trim cleaning/restoration and do you use a trim dressing afterward?

Thanks,

Fal
