And applied it to the exterior bumpers and plastic bits on me KA. Can anyone comment on how useful or good this stuff is? I am not after a 'back 2 black' finish yet, but I am really keen to keep the paintwork and exterior items as in good condition as possible (hence the car gets cleaned about every 2/3 weeks )

It just seems to have gone straight on and nothing visible appears to have come out of it...

Got some of that... used it once then put it on the shelf and went back to my Turtle Wax stuff. Useless...

Carplan Black Trim Wax

I used this stuff on my mam's Ka.

Worked a treat... It's like an oily based stuff... I'd recommend using gloves when working with it... as its a nightmare to get off ya hands... even with proper orange gritty hand cleaner.

When it rains ya can see the water running off.

Lovely stuff!!

LOL - I think this sums up why i shouldn't just go Halfords and pick up things that 'look' good! I will stick with it and use the bottle up...and then shift over to some stuff like that XTR

Its funny, my dad knows little, like me, about cars - and even he said it was a waste of money Why oh why don't i listen!

I once complained to Halfords online about the Caliper paint that melted on my brake drums. They told me to return it to my closest store for a refund as i was disatisfied with the product.



Take it back! Your not happy with it... Buy the stuff i used.. its a lovely black slime

How's that...... nice demo for ya


and in the 2 minutes of doing that digital vernier box... i managed to get it all over my thumb.

[Tumble]

That's nowt btw.. you wanna try stripping a fuser unit from a colour copier down.. silicon oil and colour toner & all sorts of unimaginables... eugh..

Nice black stuff tho

the back to black stuff is useless imo.. shoe polish works much better..

Use Johnsons baby oil.... the best there is,best there was and the best there ever will be....

lol Nick, u keep telling me this...I am almost at the point of giving it a try We'll go buy a bottle in a couple of weeks...not at the same time tho, cos buying that stuff could look seriously gay.

I think the stuff I bought is more about 'protecting' the plastic rather than bringing out any great shine
