Aim: To make your door trims along the window looking new again, as most of the time the door trims just get sun burnt and it crinkles up with white cracks making your car look very untidy and ugly.
Required:
- I just used Kiwi Leather instant wax shine in black because i wasn't bothered to go to my local auto store to by forever black polish for cars. This should set you back about no more then 10 bucks from your local supermarket store.
- clean cloth to clean the door trims
- masking tape to mask up the areas that may be leaked onto the paint. No more then 5 bucks.
Steps:
1. Mask up all areas carefully that may get some of the new black shine/paint/wax or whatever you want to call it leaked onto. i.e your doors so it won't get leaked onto the paint which may leave some very untidy and ugly stains on it. I gave mine 2 lines of masking tape along the doors just to be on the safe side.
2. Clean up the door trims with a damp cloth taking off any dirt that may be on them, as this may affect the quality of the new paint on the door trims.
3. Start giving the trims a first layer of black to it. Carefully stroking it along side and not allowing any leaks to be on the trims.
4. Allow to drive for 3-5 mins and give it a second coat. Depending on how badly burnt your door trims are you my need to give it several coats.
5. Allow the final coat to dry for about 10 minutes. And then give the trims a quick wipe down with a damp cloth.
6. Peel off the masking tape and BAME its looking new again (Y). Making your car look a lot neater and better.
