for all of those with faded trim problems
« on: 09 April 2007, 16:39 »
seen a few posts on here and about this and my golf has been suffeering with faded bumper trim since i bought it. tried loads of stuff to no avail then came across this in performance vw

http://www.swgmotorsport.com/asps/ShowDetails.asp?id=180

is well worth the money and if it lasts aslong as it says it will u will easily manage to do your car for or five times before buying a new bottle

hope this helps some of u out like it has me

shoe polish is the daddy... cheap at 85p per bottle (morrisons own) and lasts for a good month. one bottle will do about 3 or 4 cars worth (thats including front/rear bumpers, side skirts, arches, front grill etc.)

I don't think a semi will give the same results

i've been using kiwi now for a couple of months, lasts for ages and you can re-bling by a quick once over with any silicon based spray polish.

ah now you see i wouldn't remove the arches as i think that mk2's really benefit from the extra width, and wide metal arches = big $$$$. Would lose the rubbing strips though as they just seem to harbour plenty of water which seems to dump itself half way through a good waxing.
