white bumper + scotch brite + meguire's tire gel = black :)

[Richard J. Andrews]

subject says it all..
i had a WHITE rear bumper on the newly aquired 4kq...
well.. i tried some stuff i had luck with before call Blackjack...
hah.......
they turned grayish...
after a few weeks when the silicone was gone..
i decide to grap a piece of scotchbrite..
gently buffed the bumper and the black started to come out..
it almost looked like it was a layer of oxidation on there..
after buffing i applied meguire's tire gel... (which doesn't attract dirt 
or so it says)
now it looks black as can be....
lightly scuffed the front bumper (not as bad) and the side pieces...
all are BLACK now :)

thought this might help some of you out..
YMMV

HTH!
rich
'86 4kq (with black bumpers and trim now :))
