White shading on black vinyl - how to get rid.

[AndyP & Lenore]

OK Andy...so you honestly think putting oil on...then washing it all off is going to effect my cornering?

I don't think it will be any different from putting on any other tyre dressing.

Will let you know

I suppose if your gonna wash it off again. but if your gonna wash it off, I doubt it will leave the result on that you want i.e. longer lasting.

How did you get on with the tyres? I did my bumpers and arches today and tyres looked right scruffy besides them. I'm a philistine when it comes to my bumpers, one I find easiest is careplan's cheapo blacktrim. Suppose its a bit like shoe polish for bumpers but it lasts for weeks. Messy stuff though if you forget to put on gloves. Eventually mine go greyish too and until today i thought it was one of those things that just kind of happened to bumpers. I can sense a raid of my other half's kitchen cupboards coming on! And also have I read this thread properly. Can you put wax on your bumpers after they've been treated? I've always been really careful about not putting wax on them.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Hi Shielz,

Gonna let others answer the question about putting wax on your bumpers after they are treated, because as we have Diamondbrite, we don't wax the car. If I had to guess, I'd say it was still inadvisable as it is very tricky to get it off. Although I think CraigD uses a wax which is OK and he puts it everywhere.

Haven't cleaned the tyre walls since I used the Auto Glym stuff.:o The AG stuff looks cool for about a day then the tyre just returns to the usual mucky self.

I did say to Mark (Vintageb3) that he should try the peanut oil on his tyres and report back. Hasn't been heard from since, so I guess we know the result of that. Naw, to be fair he's touring with Deacon Blue just now. I think he's some sort of massive groupie fan and can't leave the band alone or something.

So no definitive result on the tyre walls as yet.

I use wax everywhere as Andy says. It's great on the plastic trim and stops quite a lot of stuff sticking to the car's trim. Makes it easier for washin. :)

once you get your trim clean and the way you want it, put a few coats on and then DONT USE ANYTHING ELSE other than wash it and them put another coat of wax on from time to time. works for me.

What's the difference between a Groupie...and a Roadie?

Well they both get ****ed by the band....but in different ways

No such thing as a Roadie these days....the term is tech

Roadie's pushed cases....techs don't

Will try the peanut oil when I get a chance...

Well. Here we are a month on and we've just given the car a good cleaning ready for Sundays run.

Still looks amazing. No white streaks, or patches.

We're both very happy bunny's.
