Stevie P Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hi Did I read somewhere that the best finish for TR7 bumpers and trim is Stove Black Polish? Did I imagine that and are there other recommendations? Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AnthonyF Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hi Did I read somewhere that the best finish for TR7 bumpers and trim is Stove Black Polish? Did I imagine that and are there other recommendations? Steve Well I have not heard of that being used on TR7 bumpers, Steve, but I guess you could try it. Personally I have always found Autoglym Bumper Care (the green gel like stuff) to work very well, on both the UK spec plastic bumper & the US spec rubber bumper, as well as the other external black plastic trim, & the sunroof material.

jothecat Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Back in the day Barry Sheene used to advertise Dynaglaze Back to Black with the strap line "go on, spoil'er". It worked well. These days I use Concept Valeting Gel, more than satisfied. however, stove black paint worked wonders on the Victorian fireplace, I think it won't be flexible enough for the bumpers though.

Don H. Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 One of the tips commonly talked about over here (although one I have yet to try personally) is Kiwi liquid black shoe polish. There are probably similar products that would work as well. It's reported to give good color that lasts a LONG time. It sounds reasonable to the polymer scientist in me, too.
