Scoobydoobydan Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hey all, I'm looking to blacken up my handles and rubbers, is there anything I can use?? I've seen the same old black to black stuff but that's for bumpers...... Will this work on my handles and rubbers??? As I can't seem to see anything else out there??? Or clearly looking in the wrong place.. Lol Thanks in advance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Can't remember what the autoglym stuff is called but the label is green and it says it's for plastic trim on the bottle bud Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Don't get the stuff with silicone in it as I find it runs and lifts the wax/polish off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I used to use 3m tyre restorer....found it worked quite well on black plastics and you don't need to use much. Came in a trigger bottle and just sprayed into a microfibre before applying, then leave for 2 mins then wipe off any excess with a clean microfibre Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozyDave Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 most of the stuff is clear and tries to make it look black again. I used http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/cleaning-body-repair/detailing-products/carplan-black-trim-wax-375ml , it is like thick, black boot polish, so it helps it look blacker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 This is the stuff: http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/cleaning-body-repair/detailing-products/autoglym-bumper-and-trim-gel-325ml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
