Many of you Colourstorm owners out there are suffering in silence with your light grey faded arches and mirrors that should be black.
You may have tried all sorts of products the keep them black, back to black, bumper shine, tyre shine etc etc. The problem is the blackwork on the Colourstorm is paint not rubber and so these products simply wash off.
To make the arches etc black you need to remove a very fine top layer of sun damaged paintwork.

Here I’m using Meguirs ultimate compound and a dual action polisher. Both of which are safe enough not to cut through to the base coat.
This is a permanent colour change to black; you won’t need to add products too it every week, but it would appreciate a coating of a decent wax to keep its hydrated.
Here’s a larger image of the wing that I’ve just done for @nod before collection.
Before anyone sheds a tear for this Colourstorm breaker unfortunately this is the engine bay. The car has been left out in all weathers for 4 years with no bonnet on after having its engine removed.
