"Cleaning" matte door trims / decals............

[sevenfourate]

Those matte black, textured "decals" on the back of the doors........


Thought about removing mine; but might be happier if i could get them looking decent.

Any products i should know about to get a decent finish ?

I'm not entirely sure what your referring to her [MENTION=54245]sevenfourate[/MENTION]. Am I being dim?

So the plastic door trim...? Sorry for being slow on the uptake...it has been a LONG couple of days!

If so, then I highly recommend the Sonax trim restorer gel. It's awesome stuff.

All pics show a shiny finish, and even the product blurb says: " freshens up the colours and produces a rich, deep shine "

The trim (Which is a decal) is matte from the factory ?

I'm afraid that I can't really help then. Sorry!! I haven't really looked at it too closely if I'm honest. To me it sounds like you'd possibly be as well replacing them. I'm sure that they'd be fairly inexpensive...?

Another thought, could you maybe just wrap it?

I'm getting mine wrapped gloss black

I'm sure a general all purpose cleaner would 'clean' them, then a natural finish restorer to leave them looking good.

Possibly Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner and Poorboys 'Natural Stuff' as a couple of suggestions.

Even if you went for something more mild for cleaning, like Autoglym Interior Shampoo, that should do the trick!

I just use plastic restore/bumper gel/back to black type stuff on mine. It never lasts long though and they always fade and look a bit naff. In an ideal world I'd remove it completely and re-wrap in some nice carbon effect 3M wrap stuff
