A way to get black trim black without painting them!

[neoblue89lxi]

I am pretty sure I have found a way to get the black trim on the bumpers and doors black again. I have the most oxidized trim out there and have tried countless products, none of them having a long term good result. All of them can't change the white parts of the trim to black. I have used black shoe polish and buffed it on by hand having a great result. It has turned the semi white areas to black with one quick coat. I am going to use a very fine grade sandpaper to open the pores of the rubber up so it will absorb the polish. I will have before and after pictures for you very soon. This might be the best thing i have ever done. Must go too excited. :D :eek:

Gotta see the end results. Did the eagle one product I recommended not work for you?

Haven't ehard of that one but ive tried so many others. By the way it's too dark to do anything now but come tomarrow morning I'm hitting the trim.

post some pics. i just washed my car today and armoralled all the trim parts but that tends to only keep them nice for about 2 weeks.

i took steel wool to my bumpers and made them perfectly black again and apply mothers back to black to it everytime i wash it, it really worked well

I bought some bumper paint and painted the back trim which looked the worst, but it took at least 3 hours to do the whole thing. I could still try this method on the side trim though. PIX!!!! I guess I'll use the rest of the bumper paint on painting the half black and half chrome trim around the front and rear windows.

Shoe polish. Interesting. It has been a good 8 months or so since I repainted my bumpers. And just now. Chipping is slightly begining to take effect. So I might take this concept into effect.

before I had mine repainted, I use to use this oil. Make them nice and black for quite some time.
