| If you have an Asda nearby, grab some Turtlewax aersol 'black in a flash' you can use it on plastics and rubber. Best thing is its £1.97 as opposed to Halfords £5 for the same product. Works really well and Ive used loads. | |

| i use a liquid called HIGH-STYLE from a company called AUTO-SMART,
thats wot i use @ work aswell, all the leading car manufacturers use this stuff
just get an old plastic milk bottle, cut it in half & use it as somthing to put a little bit in, then get a 3.5" paint brush & simply brush it on the sidewall of ur tires, then wipe off any excess with a cloth | |
