Black trim around 01 911 TT

Guys, what`s the best way to revitalise my black trim. It seems to have some dull and greyish colorization? thanks Mike

I recommend Zymol Tyre. It's a shea butter based natural preservative. Introducing silicone and formaldehyde-based products to the black trim looks good in the beginning, but will deteriorate the trim in the long run. PM me if you need some Tyre.

Believe it or not.. peanut butter. It restores black plastic trim and also removes bugs from hoods/bumpers due to the oils in it. It will not harm clearcoat. Once applied, let it sit for 5-10 minutes then clean off. (don't use chunky :-))

Peanut oil works great. Followed by some quick detailer and then buff off. Removes old wax and leaves a nice sheen. Hope this helps.

If you've tried peanut butter you should try dried goat turds...not!
Try Aerospace 303, works great and last a long time.
