Does anyone know of a black trim restorer that actually works or even half works

Boiled linseed oil works well and is very cheap....

Needs very, very little - dont slap it on too thickly.

That's a great tip, I've tried all sorts on mine, some look ok for a week or so then pants again.

Hi
If you use linseed oil make sure you put the cloths you use in a bucket of water overnight as it can ignite the cloth.

Hi
I have done mine with linseed oil a few times and they stay black and look nice for nearly three months then after that they still have a bit of shine on them.

Gtechniq C4 trim restorer. This stuff is permanent and works. Not cheap at around £25 quid, but it is well worth it.

is there not a danger of the boiled linseed oil igniting when its on the car as ive read it can ignite its self?
