Shaun1982 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Just wondered if any of you lots cars are suffering from dull,grey mirror bases, scabby wiper arms etc? If so what have you done to solve it? I was thinking of painted the above items but using matte lacquer instead, don't really want gloss black base plates etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I squirt WD 40 on a rag and work it in. But its ony a temp thing. Maguires do a good interior/exterior treatment very simular to Back to Black but a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I've always tried to stay away from treating exterior plastics, and interior coming to think of it. Hate the shiny greasy look so I just wipe over mine with a leather lol. If its doable & looks ok then painting would be a permanent solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years back when I used to be a valeter the dressing for plastics always used to run when It rained etc Sorry its actually called Bumper care, but its quite old and that link is probably a new version. On my last Saab i used it on the wing mirror housings and came up great. they were really grey. I detail a bit, and polishes and other products get on those places.

gsexr Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 If its for black plastics you can always use good old boot polish cheap as chips and works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
