1 Attachment(s)
I’ve recently noticed that along the black trim on my doors around my windows, that I’ve been getting a kind of hazy look. The black is starting to show little spots and it’s really starting to annoy me. I’m sorry I couldn’t really explain it better cause I don’t know the name of the actually piece so that’s why I included a pic.
Let me know the best way to get rid of that annoying discoloration…… Has anyone else experienced this? |

Repaint. You could try cut and buff but that type of discoloration tends to come back after some time. A few guys on here bought carbon fiber covers or something like that.
I'm thinking of having mine covered with vinyl CF wrap. Relatively inexpensive and not permanent (for resale reasons). |
May be black shoe polish will work (the liquid one with a sponge on the bottle). I know it works well for plastic trims like bumpers, wheel arches etc. I've used it for my E46 and ex-E30. Try a small section first.

I've got back to black from mothers that i use for plastic trim and it works pretty well, but i'd be a little afraid of using it on here.....
|
Those are temporary fixes. You'll have far better success with a cut and buff using a wool pad, buffer, and a couple different buffing compounds.
|
Is it the shadowline trim that is discolored or the painted body panel?
|
Noo. This is easy. No repainting. Just meguiars ultra cut compound then wax. Comes right out. I had the same problem..
|
Cool! Thanks I'll try the Meguiars stuff and let you guys know how it works.

Farecla G6. Works a treat, takes about 3 minutes per trim.
