Making the black, black again!

(1/2) > >>

Gtiain:
Hi guys, I've recently fitted a black badge to the front however now the rest of the grill looks faded compared. How can I bring the colour back out and make the black, black again! Same goes for the rear bumper.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Ta.

Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel is super stuff.

About a million ways but not many of them last for long.

Whatever you do, I'd recommend removing the grille from the car to make it easier to clean. Clean thoroughly with some sort of all-purpose cleaner and dedicated brush. Then apply a product. Some of the them are gels which blacken the plastic but wear off in a few weeks. The other option is to look at say crystal resins or "nanotech" stuff like g-techniq, both of which are more difficult to apply but last much, much longer.

The other option, I guess, is to buy a new front grill. I think these are only around £100.

I think I may end up getting a new grille, is that the vw price for a new one?
