Tyre slick

[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.

tyre lacquer, brings back that nice showroom fresh tyre shine, as for the door seals a small amount of vaseline rubbed in vigourosly.

i always have and always will use Back to Black trim restorer for the door trims and door rubbers,,, available in all quid shops,
and the tyres i use wynns tyre restorer in a big green tin, it comes out like thick white foam, give it 10 mins to soak in and tyres are super black
that also is available in pound stretcher and places like that

it's a 406.................what handbrake

[FarmerPug]

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.

Meguiars Endurance tyre dressing and on rubbers AG V&RC.Which is also great for dressing engine plastics and hoses.

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
now on shopping list

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