Advice for
Have been using Zaino on my DS/B 06 S and love it, but would like to know what everyone is using for the black plastic trim pieces? My paint looks great, but need to get the wheel arches and other balck palstic trim with something. Any recommendations?  |

Prima Nero seems to be a favortie among the forum. I use it and absolutly love it. Some others love Wizards Black Re-New.
Both of these products can be purchased at www.detailersparadise.com |

Zaino has their Z-16 which was my favorite before switching to Wizard. I also used the Z-2 on the trim as well when I was waxing. Nero is great for the inside vinyl, but I don't think it lasts all that long on the exterior trim.

Just used Mother's back to black on mine, really looks good and seemed to have taken the old wax I had on it off. Can't say yet how long it will last.  |

From my testing, most of these products will only last a short while, and only a day of rain or so. If it's as bad as mine, you might want to dye them with forever black. See all my detailed test results here. |

lol, jwardell is the apostle of forever black. yeah, he did test it thoroughly and probably is the way to go.
something called Wizards stuff that DP sells sounds perfect for me as it has citrus cleaner in it to remove wax. I mess up a lot.

That and a new Z16pro make me want to run tests yet again.
I do however count FB as a different category. It's not a dressing or a treatment, but a dye. Of course a good dressing over the dye will always help. |
