Best Way To Make The Black Plastic/rubber Stand Out

Hi All,

Been Cleaning My Tt Up And All. But I Can't Seem To Get The Outer Black Plastic/rubber Parts Of The Bumper, Trims, Tires Etc To Shine Or Make The Black Pop. Any After Market Sprays Or Coats To Help Makes These Things Shine? I've Used Mcguiars Gold Plasitc/rubber Shine, And It Doesn't Do Anything, Just Drys And Looks Plain Still. ALSO SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T RUN OR DRIPS WHEN IT RAINS OR HAS MORNGIN MOISTURE...

Vinylex works for me. Not too bright, but does make it look nice.

Re: Best Way To Make The Black Plastic/rubber Stand Out

I had a suburu and I would use black magic tire shine. Spray it on and wipe it off a little or it will run. The only neg is that dust will stick to it so dont go down dirt roads and you will be fine.Im to old to care know. As long as its clean.

Sanding it down so it's smooth, then use the plastic treatment. Good luck.

I use Black Magic/Titanium it's used for tires. I was impressed with the shine and said try the trim, O.M.G. what a deep dark shine! Other products dried out to fast and left a white powder like residue which is impossible to remove! It holds up longer but like anything else you wash every week and apply afterwards.
