Re: Recommended Paint/Bodyshop
Good morning guys (well not really, as its raining push-rods here at the moment)
When I first started in the trade (which was during a Zeppelin raid) any car with an orage peel finish was described as having been sprayed by Max Jaffa. Think about it!
However - to another point. What is the best renovation treatment for external black plastic mouldings. I've even seen a product adversised at £55 a chuck. Is it worth it, or are they taking the wee-wee?
See you at Longbridge,
Stan.

I am sure there is a thread on here somewhere that covers black trim refurbishment, but I couldn't find it quicklyStan Thomas wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 11:25 am

I have always found Autoglym Bumper and Trim gel quite effective at making the black parts look as the factory intended them to. You can buy at least four bottles of it for £55
