What to use on faded cantrails

Robti · 25th February 2016, 17:31

Hi I am ready to retro fit a set of cantrails to my ZTT and wondered what to use to bring them back up to spec as they are faded at the moment, so any ideas ?

Thanks

Go on, give us a clue! What are cantrails?

I'm sure they're not what Oxford dictionaries says they are:

Autoglym Bumper Gel or possibly their Vinyl and Rubber Care might bring them up.

To be honest, I guessed that's what they were but I just couldn't resist

If they are metal painted, bumper gel and vinyl and rubber care (which I am a huge fan of both incidentally) will wash off. A bit of T-cut, or if not too bad, a decent polish rubbed hard will bring them up well.

Peanut oil is the answer, a quick rub over and when it soaks in they will be like new sir

I had metal ones on a Hyundai jeep i used to own. Autosmart Topaz worked very well on them.

I'm going to carbon wrap mine in Silver or gloss Black on the ZTT, once the weather gets warmer.
Already done the roof strips on Flying Banana in 4d Carbon wrap.
