Life Shine, offers a Ten year guarantee against stains, think that shows that they are pretty confident in their product!


Ha ha, my brother in Law works for Rolls and has produced show models for just about every major brand, including Daewoo Shocked He is smitten with Meguiars having been an Auto Glym man!

Yes, so thats the paint dealt with, but what to use on the black plastic/pvc, there seems to be as much of that as there is of polished paint. When the plastic/pvc is new, it really sets off the paint, but then starts to go grey-ish.

What does anyone use that really works, looks black, and stays that way?

Mer bumper stuff, Auto Glym even the turtle wax spray works well. I find that if you keep on top of it, ie treat it every time you wash (not once a year TFC) your car it won't fade and looks great

I used Turtle Spray "Wet n Black" two hours ago, total crap, might as well have used water. Looked good initially, but has gone back to grey now!
Using a spray, how do you keep it off the paintwork, seems you either do the paint first, or the plastic first, its the overlap that is difficult.

Might try Cherry Blossom black ???????????

I use small bits of foam padding.
Spray onto the foam and spread over the vinyl.
Lightly wipe over with a dry towell after about 5 mins.
