CarPlan Black Trim Wax

All-in-all this product is excellent. I have a Land Rover Freelander and the trims where looking very bland and grey, so I decided to buy this product from my local Halfords store. I decided to go one better with this product and made sure I had a full day to get the proffesional results I wanted. You will need to tape of the effected area, newsapapers and masking tape is a good idea. I then made sure the trim was clean and dry (all ways a good point). I then painted the liquid on to the trims. I left it for about 2 hours and then I painted another coat on (again leaving it for about 2 hours. After that I used an inexpensive electric hand buffer (for around £8.50) and polished off the trims (this took a few hours to do). The results were outstanding and most people thought I had fitted new trims. A bit of hard work but it was definitely worth it!

I bought a bottle of Car Plan Black trim Wax after I saw how dingy and grey the rear bumber and wing mirrors on my car had got. It was cheap enough so I thought it would be a worthwhile investment.

To be fair, the finish you get is very nice. The "traffic film" left on my wing mirrors had left the black plastic looking quite grey (not a good look on a metallic silver car), and after some hard work I'd made sure this plastic finish was "back in black". I used it on the front & rear bumpers, and these came up nice, too.

But be warned - this stuff isn't a "rub-on-and-forget" product. It needs some patience. So, some things you'll need:

-A cloth you don't mind getting dirty.

-Another cloth to rub off any wax you get on the car's bodywork. This stuff doesn't damage paint, but it looks bad on it.

-A good thirty minutes (at least) without rain.

-Patience.

-A good nail brush to scrub your hands afterwards!

Also, make sure all the black trim you're polishing is clean and dry first, or you'll be shining dirt.

But this stuff is well worth the investment, and cheaper than professional car valeting.
