Black Bumpers

**Bracer** · Thursday 25th November 2004, 15:11

Right top tip here, if you want to loose those grey chalky bumper this is what you need.

Liquid shoe polish

I did mine been over 12 months ago now and still perfect.

This is the one I used

Kiwi Premium Wax Formula

I actualy just pulled the sponge tip off and applied it with a brush, locally masking areas to make it easier with less cleaning up.

And here is what to do and how long it should take you.

10 mins prep (i.e. clean and masking)

5-10 mins first coat

10-15 mins wait (dry time)

5-10 mins second coat

10-15 mins wait (dry time)

5 mins clean up

By the way I did all this in that time;

1) Front Bumper
2) Rear bumper
3) Door Rub strips
4) Door Handles
5) Wing Mirror bases

I think it would look spanking

Anythings better than a faded bumper

Thanks Justin / Jason (joke) - borrowed from a bumper sticker in a traffic queue. (That looks wrong - long spelling for a short word, but it is correct!).

Mine aren't faded - just grey - using an Autoglym trade-only jobbie, seems to do a good job. (See "garage" pics).

Just done my bumpers etc. Thanks for the tip Bracer. Only difference; I used 1 coat & rubbed it in with a dry cloth immediately. Result; satin black, which looks great with my black paintwork.
Cheers, Chris.
