Black Trim around Windows
 

How do I clean these? When I got the car they were faded and full of water spots.

I used back to black and it fixed the fading problem but the water spots are still there.

I then read the forums and I used Zymbol Cleaner Wax. I used it twice but it did nothing. It made it faded again so I added back to black again.

Any suggestions?

someone suggested I use..

Isopropyl alcohol

should I? I dont want to damage anything.

Do you have rubber? Or the glossy shadowline trim?

I use Meguiar's quick wax spray.
It's fast and works perfectly. Available at any auto parts store.

just wax them. they're clear coated.

.....zaino z5....

ok alcohol did not work

does this mean the damage is too deep to fix?

Sorry, I can't answer your question, but here's an X5world article dealing with this issue, and here's an earlier X5world thread on point.

BMW issued a Service Bulletin to address this issue -- more info. here.

x5Monkey recommends Car Brite Power Pak.

:goodluck:

3m swirl mark remover works wonders. I used this product last week and I am totally satisfied with the results.

where do I buy car brite power pak?

I used#9 by Meguiars. It removed 50% of the spots. I had to really really buff it hard with my hand. My hand felt like it was about to fall off. I did it 3-4 times but the other 50% just doesnt want to come off.

Should I buy the 3m smirl mark remover? I am tired of spending money on products to fix this problem.
