Black Trim - Phase 2

Recommended Posts

NufcMark

Just bought my 1991 Phase 2 1.6, and more than happy with it. A nice polish with Autoglym HD Wax has brought the paint up really well, and in my experience lasts around 3 to 5 months, but I'm looking for a quality, long lasting bumper / plastic trim product that gives a good clean and doesn't fade again after a week. Any suggestions?

I would try this

I've got it on my mini, and although the front lower trim/splitter has become a bit faded, the sides seem to have stood up well a year later.

 

I wouldn't use it on Ph1/1.5 though.

 

Also worth reading up on whether or not a sealant is required over the top of it, but I don't think it does.

I haven't run out of Plasticare yet so I haven't tried it but I have high hopes for the Wurth product, the adverts for it often show it being applied to a 205 specifically so it *should* be perfect for our cars.

My wurth dye arrived, applied a rushed single coat to one trim and I'm very impressed. My trims are grey and it's totally covered all imperfections and after a 2nd coat later I'm sure they will look 10/10

They all look good when they're put on, it's 3 months down the line that determines how good they are. Mind let us know ????

It'll be a fine weather car so may not be the best test for it, but of course I will update
