UNABASHED Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I washed and polished the car yesterday in the lovely sunshine and then it rained this morning I used some tyre blackner stuff on the black areas of the car, like the badges and around the mirrors, and now with the rain I have just noticed that it had run down the paintwork. I will obviosuly be getting a cloth to it later but will it damage the paintwork or leave a mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Not sure about damage, but i think most of them remove polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 is it not written on the side of the bottle not to use the tyre blackener on trim? which brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 errr hope not! It's maguires, which have the frustrating label on back that you have to tear off and then its gone forever!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNABASHED Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 no it was the spray, I've always used a detailing brush and put a small amount on rthe black of the badges etc - guess I shouldnt be doing this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNABASHED Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 you need to tear label off back of meguires to see the BG section though - not sure Halfords would appreciate me ripping there stock! All you jobless out there, got of your scrounging asses and go fiund out for me please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I would have thought it would be silicone based,might be a bit of a pain to shift but should not do any damage. The clues in the name TYRE blackener you use it for TYRES,get some Aerospace 303 for your black plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 you dont have to rip the label off there is a sticky tab you pull it folds out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I'm pretty sure you're meant to read the instructions (or in this case destructions) BEFORE using products???? I'd imagine it'll come off with a wash easy enough however I would do it sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 you dont have to rip the label off there is a sticky tab you pull it folds out I'm far too impetious to gently peel it open though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
