heat gun!

back to black sucks ass, i've heard rubbing oil into them works as a better version of back to black, but i didn't try it as it seemed silly!

but a heat gun and some time it'll be blacker than new!

smooth peanut butter is good does work a treat! I eventually got pissed off doing this every month so i took the rear ones off and i sprayed my arches satin black gave them about 5 thin boats and they haven't changed or flaked in over a year need to do the front bumper and arches and it will be back to new again. Thats the only way at the end of the day.
