black gloss b pillar
« on: December 30, 2011, 11:46:12 pm »
Just a bit of help the black gloss pillar has slight swirls on there and just wondering if a simple polish such as autoglym SRP would work?

Can do. The other options are to wrap them in black gloss/matt black/carbon fibre wrap or just replace them with new ones.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

For me carbon themes are a bit old hat now.
