My white paint is pretty nice and clean looking. My car has black trim though and most of it is faded (the skirts, door handles, etc...) whats a good way to make this shit black and shiney again?
thanks

Bavarian Auto has "Forever Black" which works amazingly well. Easy to put on and leaves a new shine that last a lot longer than anything I've used. A cleaner and conditioner kit is $13. It's essentially a permanent pigment, unlike the other products on the market that act as a glaze and fade in a few days. Forever Black actually lasts months even after heavy rain and snow.
