Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    I am using Mothers Back to Black. It's Ok, but needs redoing every few weeks (4-6 weeks). Black WOW is supposed the sh1z for black bumpers, especially restoring faded ones. I am yet to try it.

      I used kiwi shoe polish on mine, and I've only done it twice in about a 10 month, and my bumpers are still black!

        Ive said it before and ill say it again lol BLACK WOW!!

        Here is a before and after. The before is after an intensive scrub. The marks are from a caustic cleaner that the car wash cafe used which dripped onto the bumper.

        The black wow managed to hide/remove all the marks. It got 2 coats of the stuff on all exterior plastics.

        Before


        After



        Here is another 50/50 shot of it


        Durability is around 3 months for 2 coats in my experience

          I might try some Black Wow (that correct?) on mum's Forester, because the Forever Black leaves streaks on the new type of plastic used on the bumpers and side mirrors.

                Direct link to the Black Wow

                It seems expensive but you should not have to use more than a 10c size piece to do a whole front bar
