Canada Vehicle(s): 1989 280GE Posts: 1347  | RE: re-freshing black rubber moulding I tried Mothers Back to Black last summer, it was easy to apply thankfully because it's a big job. Just wet a rag with it or pour on the area and rub off the excess. A real deep black look, however after the winter it's now back to grey  time to reapply.  Bernie | |

Disco 2 Posts: 4398 | RE: re-freshing black rubber moulding Basicly all of those kind of products are based on one or two things, most are silicone based others are glycerene based, how effective they are depends on how much the product is diluted in the carrier, either solvent or water, back in my Army days there was a product called "zebra" grate black, it was for polishing up the old pot belly stoves and kitchen ranges and was apllied like boot black, it would often be used for any thing that needed bull shitting, the other neat trick is paint them with black board paint.

Take left front and rear, flip to right side then flip door mouldings over, they are the same. Warren (DSC00509.JPG) Attachments ---------------- DSC00509.JPG (60KB - 2 downloads) | |

Disco 2 Posts: 4398 | RE: re-freshing black rubber moulding The biggest cause of "bleaching" is harsh detergent used in washing, the use of "TFRs" in Europe has accelerated this somewhat due to the reliance on high alkali sodium metasilicate and even sodium hydroxide products, the same goes for drive thru washes, it is the same effect that washing powders have on clothes, I make a lot of money out of producing a whole variety of cleaners polishes and treatments and supplying them to large fleet operators and motorsport, as some one who is a pro at detailing will tellyou half of them arent needed but the customer has preferences and has to have a choice, here is a tip, next time you are hand washing your car put a little liquid parrafin in the warm water with a little washing up liquid, wash rinse and towel down with terry cloth, when cleaning windows spray with white vinegar and polish with the Financial Times overseas edition ,thats what the old chauffers at the Palace used to do. the cars are always immaculate and the finish lasts for years. Having done this once and got a beutiful finish you will go back to the quick and easy car wash, jet wash, car detailer using all the modern squirt squeeze spray potions that are available, and so you should  | |
