:eek::eek:NOOOOOOO!!!!:eek::eek:

Black tyre gloss is made for rubber - not vinyl trim - it would wash off at the first hint of rain.

There are a few good products on the market for it - Autoglym trim; Meguairs Gold Class trim detailer or the MINI trim detailer are all good.

I use meguires tyre dressing and put it on with a paint brush so you get no spray and use autoglym bumper polish on the bumpers of course:D I havnt put anymore on the black trim for weeks now as i just buff them back up after a light wash with a dry cloth.
