Black honey combed grill?
cobz:
That does look like a massive difference! The damn grill is so time consuming to clean though...
Frenzy:
yes it is time consuming but like all things involving detailing your car, you only get out what you put in effort-wise :happy2:
that's why i have to bow down to the pros, 4 hours for me and i'm bored. Think my record is 7 or 8 hours and i was spent and still had a finish no where near what a pro could achieve in that time but to amateurs like you and me and to the lazy sods who live where i live and never touch their cars it looked like a magnificent pearl! :party:
cobz:
I just can't justify it... would rather pay somebody to spend that time! I only really get one day off a week and, although I enjoy cleaning my car, I cant spent any more than an hour on it!
Oh and the missus comes looking for me after an hour... apparantly my days off are better spent on DIY in the house :sick:

Seriously, I bought it a good couple of years ago so the name has obviously escaped me. It's actually Poorboy's Natural Look. It is an APC in as much that it lists that it can be used on vinyl, leather, tyre dressing, etc but it is known for restoring OEM look to plastic trims - other dudes use it achieving similar results so it is definitely proven for use in this task.

No worries :happy2: I was just thinking this guy will be disappointed when he goes to work tomorrow and finds all his work has gone back to gray and faded if he's only used a apc.
I found using 303 that it was a breeze to do the grills on the front and had them done in no time, from what I know the poorboys dressing isn't a spray type but 303 is so it will be quicker and easier using a spray type on the grills I'd say and it'll say you time.
When I snow my car I use one of my little brushes and give the grills a quick clean as the snow foam dwells then after I've washed car etc I spray the 303 onto the grill and use a brush again to get it into the honey combed grill, leave it for a hour and then finally wipe up any excess. No ball ache what so ever, pretty quick and easy :happy2:

Just used some C4 on the grill, it was pretty faded. Looks much better now....still not black tho....
I think next time I'll paint it....
