hot air gun.

autoglym bumper care (if its good enough for the queen its good enough for us ), heat gun is gonna be a bit dangerous that close to paint.

them strip just pop off,lightly heat them and they will go back to proper black like new and won`t fade after a week or so,should last for years.

Erm heating them up wont last that long.. as it brings the oil back to the surface but if unfeed it will sink away again over time.

use a hair dryer to give them a wee heat then put the ag on the polymers work better when its hot but not to hot

Aberdeenloon · 18-11-2008, 19:55

Yes i could see my self outside in the street with the wife's pink hair dryer. lol

Hair dryer is the best bet if you don't want to use a hot air gun. Apply your product of choice whilst the plastic is still warm. On some plastics it opens up the pores but doesn't work on every vehicle.

I beg to differ. It does depend on what car. I brought two bottles originally, which I hadn't now. I do use another but I can't for the life of me remember what its called. That and they only like selling it in packs of 6 1l bottle

rye#1 · 05-12-2008, 17:17

never fails me,could well just be down to weather temp or incorect application can be a fussy product

c20|et · 06-12-2008, 18:27

whats the best way to use black wow then rye#1 ?

rye#1 · 08-12-2008, 09:09

be sure surfaces are totaly clean other wise it could react,apply a smartie size drop on to an foam applicator work in an even amount then buff lightly with a mf.apply a second coat for extra gloss,no offence given mate

Jake_rob · 03-01-2009, 22:25

Smooth peanut butter is your best and cheapest way mate, ive just done my corsa with it, it cost me like £1.09 for a tub and theres plenty to do your car over and over
