OK, im new here, and new to Landies too.. (even though im old) !
but i tried a new thing this week!
Had dried out, Grey and Crispy wheel arches...
Checked the price of new ones? (OUCH!)
Tried "Turtle Wax Back-to-Black"... Too far gone....Useless !
Tried Cherry Blossom boot polish in the squashy bottle with the sponge thing (pretty useless!)
TRIED BABY OIL !!!! 'Far Canal', does it work or what?
First wiped them over with the baby oil using a small sponge....buffed it off with a cloth...(Yeah, OK finish)
...But then wiped over again with a couple of wet coats, even long strokes (ooer)
Two days later they're still Jet Black, lovely shiny satin finish..and the rain just rolls off !!
RESULT !
So im sure you all already know this little Ghetto fix.. but i thought id just share it in case anyone didn't
Thanks Y'all..
Keep it Green!
P.S. Also works on the grill, headlight surrounds and mirror backs, in fact, anything that's grey and crispy..!
