use normal clean cloth to apply ur polish...after dat use a piece of good micro fibre cloth to touch it up.

 

anywayz chrome no need polish...just clean it shiny enough.

you cant polish matt surface but you can apply those protection for plastic and bumpers.

any recommendations? :D

 

hmm.. some brands i used before are black magic, waxco, armourall, they will do fine

 

all will leave a thin waxy or oily film..normally you need to apply again if the surface touches rain, else it a monthly affair

wat i do is to juz use WD40 on those matt black parts...clean em up one time...then give em another thin layer for that shine...repeat 3-4 days later... :cheeky:

 

 

microfibre cloth good wan...i firmly believe in it...i even use it to clean my house... :)

Hi jamez,

 

Will the WD40 do harm to the matte surface? Or is it better to just rinse with water and wipe dry? Does matte surface need protection too?

 

And microfibre cloth .. how to know if it is the real stuff? Think I need to buy one too :)
