CMG Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 What works good to restore the look on the matte black stripes? My car is a year old and has only been washed. No wax. My stripes are starting to look chalky in places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 try turtle wax black ice it might do the trick, but you should keep a coat of wax on your car anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMG Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I was kind of afraid to wax the stripes. Normally a matte or flat color will streak or get chalky when waxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullens Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Use Chemical Guys spray detailer. No wax in it and makes them look new. I wouldn't wax them either. It may look nice at first but it will haze over time. It would be like waxing the plastic trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfarmdog Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I use ice synthetic (clear) wax on my stripes. Gives them a slight sheen and no wax buildup on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
