Blackening mesh grilles
« on: 12 June 2010, 18:33 »
The fiesta.....yes the fiesta has a mesh/grid style grille the same as mk5 golf.

What is the best way to blacken that? As its faded grey now and really needs attention.

The blackener i use on other bits of my car and old golf is just some trim wax blackener with a cloth and it works well, but on this plastic it does nothing.

Products and applicators advice welcome.

Want to get it looking new as possible for the sale pictures.  :smiley:

Try Autoglym tyre dressing spray, spray onto grill and wipe with microfibre mitt with long dangly worm like bits(get's in tiny holes). Works a treat on my MK5 GTI :wink: Quick and easy
