cleaning black window trim

Post by fenj66 » Sat Jul 27, 2013 12:04 pm

hi all, i know this subject must have been covered before but i cant seem to find any threads via search.
i'm in the mood for a little elbow power on the car and want to tackle the staining that occurs on the exterior black metal window trims.
does anyone have a solution or a link to a thread that can help?

cheers chaps! :)

A little bit of polish on a microfibre cloth will normally do the trick (don't rub to hard and try auto glum super resin polish), failing that Ive used a spot pad on a dual action polisher for bad stains.

Cheers,

Autoglym glass cleaner with not much effort does the trick on the gloss stuff.
