Non colour coded arches/side skirt cleaning.

RobCDTi · Mar 2, 2012

Anybody got any top tips for making the non colour coded wheel arches and side skirts look good?

Gave my car a good wash and wax, including wheels and I have to say it looked very nice

Until the plastic surrounds dried out and they look a bit faded/well crap to be honest.

Any suggestions to getting them back to a nice black colour, maybe a lasting wet look? Kiwi Parade boot polish?

Try Bilt Hamber, you can use it on all plastic trim.

Lots of other tips in the cleaning section.

Couldn't find a Bilt Hamber product specifically for plastic trim. Which product were you recommending?

Auto Glym bumper care, never even tried anything else; never had to.

I have this at the moment but I wouldn't buy it again. It stops working after a couple of weeks.

Gtechniq C4, definitely. I used it on my wheel arches and now they look new. Need to get round to doing my splitters and skirts as there's a big contrast between sections now.

Plasticare.

Paint it on, and forget about it.

Its cheap, and has lasted nearly a year and counting on my car - with only 1 application.

Looks interesting, dyeing the plastic black I think would look good.....
