Question Hey what's that stuff you use to make the black trim look good again?

And can it be used for all of the trim around the windows, plus front and back windshields?

Also, for my black paint, will the clay bar method plus a damn good wax job work pretty good? Iwanna make it shine, but don't wanna spend the $$ for Zaino right now.

Thanks....

From what i'm told in my paint class, u should not use wax. Eventually it will screw up the paint, anything with silicone for that matter will. Just a FYI for you guys.

Cool, can I use it on the bottom window trim piece (it is a rougher texture) as well as all of the other trim pieces? they're all kinda faded.

On my car I just recently used "Mothers Back to Black". My trim was pretty much grey before I used it. Made a HUGE difference! I was very impressed. And I did use it on the rougher trim right under the window.

I used a permanent marker to coler the trim around the doors. That back to black works really well too.
