yes o also here that penut butter is good of a mate and also use a heat gun!!!

im not puttin peanut butter all over ma car lol

with the black bumpers and aches i use baby oil as it makes them shine realy well

yeah baby oil is a real good idea btw !!! iv'e seen this done and it makes it look as if its just rolled out the factory if you really rub it in gd !!!

yeh i do my bumpers and aches evary 2 weeks

yeh iv herd its good,but bin told it just attracts bugs n dust etc jus stiks to it.

im gonna back to blak them...then iv got some pretty decent bumper restoration n protection gel im gonna rub into em...really brings out the shine.

Stupid as peanut butter sounds it works. Again i aint tried it personaly but have seen the before and after and it looks like show room quality!! Black Shoe polish 1st then back to black keeps the shine for a long time. Will give the peanut butter a go at the weekend.

ok let me kno how it goes...pics wud be good.

Hello mate, i know this is slightly old now but when i had my Flame Red corsa i used Meguiars three stage car detail and it worked a treat. I will post up some pictures when i get in of how it turned out after using the products.

It is expensive, and takes about 4 hours, but it has a paint cleaner, polish and a wax. It gives the car a real nice deep shine.

With regards to the black trims, iv heard good things about using peanut butter because of the oil in it (obviously), i tried WD40 which worked quite well, but the best i found was Back to Black which came up really well and lasted the longest.

Also, getting your car looking clean takes weeks, make sure you clean it every two weeks (or every week if you have the time/weather). It isnt so bad with white cars as they dont tend to fade, but with my red corsa it was an on going battle keeping her red and not letting her go pink

Hope this helps

yeh thats a big help mate.as soon as the weather gets better il get some decent products and just keep workin at it til its up to my high standards lol

yeh its not faded...theres just loads of poo everywhere on the painwork from the previous owner..like for instance around the arches theres black crap..im guessin they used something rubbish on the arches and just rubbed it all over the body lol
