Tyre slick

Post by rwb »

or similar.

The stuff I had has just run out so I need to get some more: any recommendations?

Also, what do you use on the black plastic trim on the doors and bumpers?

What about on the rubber round the windows and that the doors seal against?

I hate it when they (tyres/trim/rubber) look grey.

the one that lasts a very short time. What we need is an engineers view on the rear brakes, and a precise cause of the problem. And perhaps a cure or replacement product that will get it working right.

I've been using Back to Black on the exterior door & bumper trim, but it doesn't seem appropriate for the rubber seals.

AG V&RC --> autoglym vinyl and rubber care
that took me four searches :oops:
now on shopping list

Can't find any wynns tyre restorer so I'll try some Meguiars Endurance tyre dressing

Ta :D
