Title: TYER AND BUMPER BLACKENER
Post by: Disco Bristol on September 03, 2005, 15:00:30

Hi there,

I am fed up spending £5 on a small aerosol can of “trim and tyre blackener” (that only lasts a few days!!!).

Does anyone have any cheaper/better methods of keeping tyres and trim black? Any home made recipes? Or places to get these products in wholesale quantities that say dealers might use?

Thanks,

Christopher

Boot polish????

Don't laugh it might work?

(I'm not known for the spick & span exteriors of my motors)

Go to Halfords and buy a 5ltr tin of bumper gel/dressing
apply it with a small sponge or cloth.

6 years as a car valeter and never once used boot polish.
Could work on tyres but i would'nt recomend it on bumpers
(prove me wrong)

after a good wash to get offending crud off.I allways apply oodles of any cheapy WD40 type light oil brings the lustre back to cap ends and any rubberised fittings,window rubbers, anything just put lashings on let it soak in worked a treat on putting her in charge's h reg disco back in respectable trim.Tyres look good after the same treatment too!
