Best product for side mouldings ?

[kinetic]

Hi guys after washing and waxing so much my black mouldings the ones that run right around the car have developed a slightly white tinge to them does anybody know what i can do or use to get them back to black, i have the 96+ mouldings whicxh are a bit more coarse than the earlier ones...........thanks

hey 1st of all dont wax them if you do bc that is what makes it white... try using armeral whipes and wipe down the black moldings that will make them nice and black and take off the white wax stuff, or you can just save some money and maybe get them painted if you think it would look nice on your car
hope it helps you out

WOW Eagle 1 makes some AMAZING stuff that i just got the other day, look for a 409 type spray bottle.. clear, for interior stuff, vinyl, leather, etc.. It is so extremily black and shiny.. daaamn.

This works, however thanks to the material that the molding is made out of, after a while the paint tends to chip. thats what happened to my car. However if anyone knows a way around this problem, i would love to hear it. thanks

if you are painting the moldings you have to have them sanded down then wet sanded then primered the wet sanded them primered then painted then wet sanded, something along those lines that is what they did to mine and they look great there exacly like the cars boddy paint same feal and texture i dont think they will chip off and if they do i can get them painted again for free...

I had similar problems and the detail guys at BMW said that the Mother's Back to Black was really good for the trim. I love it, in fact I am all out and need to run to the store.

I detailed, then it rained. Now it is frickin snowing again.

Meguires Tire Gel holds up really well....I used to use Back to black but this works 10X better,,,,give it a try...

Poorboy's Trim Restorer

303 Aerospace Protectant

Or the above products will work great!
