black trim

[N12 JLK]

whats the best product to blacken the skirting on the body of the car, i use Wet and Black from turtle wax (no its not from a porn film):D and after its rained for a few hours it washes off or goes streaky. Any ideas what to buy ,its ok for the tyre walls as it keeps them shiney.:cool:

Wul will no doubt advise differently, but the MINI car cleaning kit has some nice exterior trim polish.

I don't know if its available separately though, but the kit is quite good IMHO.

what,don't you have a valet bay to wash you car every day :p..............lol

I found that auto glym bumper care stuff worked well, white bottle, green kind of liquid stuff.
Doesnt streak and wash off in the rain like some of the other products I tried.

Aha - that's where you are wrong bold eagle!!:p

Hi Lesley - the MINI car care trim detailer is a great wee product(on my second bottle!!), havn't tried the autoglym stuff but heard good things about it and quelle surpise - meguairs trim detailer is good as well.

But if the products are running in the rain then you are applying too much - use a little, work it in well and once you've done the whole car, go back round with a lint free clean cloth or micro fibre towel and buff up the trim - this doesn't make it shney but removes the excess product and makes the product dry better on to your trim.

Phew - such a long post for a wee bottle!! ;):p
