Default Black trip restoration

Body shop did me a HUGE favor and buffed my car with rocks. Besides the fact That I need to detail the paint I also need to remove *cough* minimize deep scratches on rear lights that fat ass cauused by his belt during bumper install.

Any who, My black trim is swirled to sh!t.

I am pissed but what can I do? Simple question...


What to do with black trim, feels like soft plastic.. Will plasticX work or that will only cause more haze?

The only black trim s2000 has on the exterior? The one that goes around the Driver\passenger windows and soft top.

There is actual heavy swirls there, not that it faded.

maybe I'll just try cleaner wax and see what happens.

Yeah the only products for your trim are mothers black to black (cheap) and black wow (like $25 a bottle but lasts a long time), and other brands.
However I don't think it is like hard plastic so I have no clue what the results might be .
Here is a comparison I found about 3-4 months ago while looking up black wow.

Yeah this is interesting. I've used Back to Black and others. They do fade after a few weeks.

I was just hoping I could actually polish the trim with maybe ill try M205 to get rid of swirl marks from buffing.

I will try in a small space first then post results.
