Noticed the paint was looking a bit dull so bought this turtle wax restorer kit, worked a lot better than I expected to be fair:

Yeah they always fade. But to be fair there only about £4 on eBay. I just changed mine once a year.

Looks Great 8) you just can’t beat a black car when it’s all polished up!

That statement can’t be argued either it’s a genuine fact :wink:

I couldn't believe how good they came out! I was lazy and bought the turtle wax kit lol, basically just cutting the back, wet sanding them down and polishing
