Title: Best thing to blacken/shine the grills?
Post by: E30Dom on April 11, 2012, 11:22:16 am
What does everyone use to blacken/finish/shine the grills on their gti, mine always look a bit dull/grey after a wash... and i find AG bumper gel a bit gloopy...

Any recommendations welcome...

I tried Auto Finesse Revive on mine, and although it looked great post-application it didn't last very long. It's a great product for the interior plastics though.

I shall also be trying 303 next.

Funny that, I've just tried AF Revive, it seems to be holding up ok after a few washes, you'll have to stop using fairy liquid as your shampoo andrew :pomppomp:
