Black Trim
Hey guys
Is there anyway to get the black window trim looking more like new other than replacing it? Mine's starting to show it's 8 years old I've tried a few things but nothing's really worked and I really don't think I have the time or money to replace the trim.Just one of those things of having an SVX daily Driver. Like to keep the heads a-turning Thanks for the help! -Mike |

Try using some back to black on it. That should work for you.

I recently used some Meguiar's (insert product name, which I've forgotten) and had some really nice results. Of course, my car has almost always been garaged, so the trim wasn't that bad to begin with.
I used it on the black plastic trim between the hood and the wipers and it looked fantastic! I also used it on all the window trim, all of the interior vinyl and plastic, etc...it was a time-consuming process, indeed...

I'll second this recommendation. It does an excellent job. Available (usually) at K Mart or Wal Mart.

Back to Black also works great on the front windshield cowl (the plastic and the metal), wiper arms, rubber weatherstrip, sunroof seal, and alot of stuff under the hood, too.
