any of these remedies acually get the grime OUT of the trim?mine seems to be full of cr4p

seems that all the polishing and waxing has ingrained the trim.

i just wish they had put smooth trim on instead of the stippled variety

If you look at the pic of mine, before i cleaned the bump strips they had not been done properly since last october / november and had a distinct white colour about them.

The cloth i used was filthy when i finished, although the local squirrel population seemed to like it

Peanut butter applied to trim today....the shiny bits are courtesy of Swissol

I suspect the polish you used was too strong: all the numbers and letters have come off your number plate

Don't clean the car , then everything is a nice even grey

I would question how long a tyre dressing product would last on other bits of trim? Worth trying though I suppose

Try using some clean engine oil, not tried it myself, but was talking to a guy from work yesterday, and commented on how "black" his inserts looked on his 97 BMW and he told me this is what he used , or just get them painted body colour like l did

Must depend on what you're trying to get blacker - put oil on anything rubber and you'll rot it straight away.

I use a mixture of used oil and petrol - about 50:50
