tdwindustries Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 back to black is crap IMOyou car get black wax stuff from halfords.... small black bottle with yellow and black label - its a black gunk. put loads on, then buff off! its the best thing i have usedi would use proper mans `t-cut` not the 'colour restorer' that u buy for the colour of your car.... again put it on like wax - wax on wax off as they say. you rub it on - not too much pressure and has to be even, then rub it off - you will see the paint on the cloth!then you wash it, and must wax it as its not sealed. it will work a treat on a red car, as long as it hasnt been t cut too much already, in which case there might not be enough paint to t cut!!well thats my experience any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Thanks mate, I'll give it a try tonight, I remember my mate used black boot polish on his bumpers once, came up really good.The rest of the car isnt bad, the bonnet has faded loads, and the roof is getting bad also.

bossjohnc Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Not sure what the rules are for festy - I know it's water cooled VWs only, but I'm not sure if that's in the gate, or show/race etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Tigz, I guess this is miles too late... but on me old pugs I used to use either Mer polish & Exterior Plastics Gel - it came up a treat. Autoglym used to do a greeny sorta plastics gel that was almost as good. All the plastics went from that faded grey to shiny black! (tho, I think the all the plastics were made darker in '90 models on). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
