'Cleaning Spirits'

[Richard Gillick]

I wonder if anyone can help me with my side body mouldings. I have just purchased a Capri Laser, and the previous owner has decided to not just polish the bodywork, but also the the matt black mouldings, which have left them looking rather white.I here you can use some form of 'spirits' (the liquid based ones) to remove the polish.Has anyone got any ideas.

I have heard of people running a cloth soaked in some cellulose thinner across these black trim to clean them up. But be very careful if you try it!

I personally use 'Back to Black' which I spray on after washing the car. This gives good results but make sure you dry off all the water before applying it

When I got my Laser, I had 'white' side strips and I tried 'Back to Black' but they went white again as soon as the Sun came out (i think summer was a fortnight last Thursday!!). o I bought the Autoglym Bumper Care/plastic conditioner and they came up a treat and it doesn't fade and can't be washed off, when it's on, it's on! It's not black, it's actually like green slime, but although it's a bit pricy, it'll last for months 'cos you'll hardly use it!
