Title: What dressing for gti grill?
Post by: keano on July 04, 2010, 12:53:25 pm

Hey guys,

Recentently purchased the Ed.30 below. Im having trouble finding a product to make the grille look like new. Notice the bottom 2 fog light grilles. 

Any suggestions?

The other grilles have been painted differently, hence the different finish.

The fog grills are a different colour/material from factory.

You mean dimpled finish and not smooth finish??

Either way, mine a plastic and black, and i use Back to black to keep them looking fresh  :stupid:

Only the mk6 has a gloss upper section, and Black Plastic lower grills.

Depending on how glossy you want them to be...

Black Wow for a slightly shinier finish

Poorboys Natural Look Dressing for a more satin finish

Autoperfection Tyre and Trim Dressing for the finger-saving option (just spray on and leave, rather than having to poke your finger in each of the honeycomb sections!)

Hope this helps
