hey, i have a 97 civic coupe and my skirts and moldings are fading to a gray color. i know i should paint them but later on when i have money. Does anyone know how to clean them or get them to the orginial black color? i searched but i guess i couldnt find a thread about it. I remember someone talking about how to clean it tho. thanks

 

anyone?

 

use mothers back to black, rub it in should restore it a little bit.

if you want, u can look for "Forever Black" on google. its a dye for your plastic parts.

 

mothers makes a cleaner that restores the origionl color of anything thats black urithane like your roof molding and the rubber around your windows. you can try that



SPECIAL CARE
BACK-TO-BLACK®

As your ride's exterior ages, rubber, plastic and vinyl exterior hardware of all colors will dry, crack, flake and deteriorate. This oxidation can be stopped and reversed with Mothers® Back-to-Black®, our favorite auto-care concoction. This trim treatment is great for all sorts of exterior hardware in all colors-bumpers, molding, louvers, window trim, vents, seals, skirts, door handles, wiper arms-anything that's plastic, rubber or vinyl. Apply Back-to-Black® to sun-burnt plastic, rubber and vinyl to revive the factory-new sheen, then re-treat that exterior hardware regularly.

 

I heard rubbing them with peanutbutter works...never tried it though.

 

i use this Mothers back to black on my mouldings and sideskirts because mines were faded from the idiot that didn't take care of the car. Didn't this idiot realize that i would eventually own this car. in any case... it works good if you work it into the plastic but i've been using this product for about 6 months now and they still fade if not applied at least once a month. I usually use it every other wash. I wash my car about once a week.

hope this helps.

 

tape your car up and flat black the moldings and side skirts...
