What the hell is Top-Shine ?
Where did you get it from ?

Im gonna try some of Lidle's black liquid shoe polish, I tried the spray back to black - not good - got it on the windows... dont bother with that crap.

back to black is nasty stuff allmost as bad as the shiny cockpit spray silcone based products leave a cheap sheen.

B pillars and black trim behind rear number plate on my cab were well faded, tried back to black sprays came back week later. tar remove the plastic to remove the grime and staining through the years then apply a wax or one of the finishes suggested. B pillars dont need any more prep and i did them 3 month ago still black.


You can't polish a turd

ill let you in on an old car valeting trick, you know that ?2.99 for 5 ltrs oil??? well get one of them , will last you years and brings bumpers and faded plastic trim etc straight up to spec, dont put too much on!! just get some  on a rag and work into bumper etc youll see it darken and shine up straight away, gets em lookin well pukka, dosnt smell the best in the world, and dont drive down a sandy lane after youve done it casue it will pick alot of dust up if youve put on too thickly if not youll be fine!!!,

hey and before you take the p1ss, try it!!! lol
