What to use on rear diffuser?

ALPANDY · 02-13-2012, 03:55 PM

Sincing getting my new 330D M SPORT I haven't had chance to detail the car properly given the bad weather. I have all the product in place to clean, polish,seal, wax the car but I am unsure what to use on the rear diffuser. I know its plastic but it seems to sprayed/finished in some way. Car is LCI if that helps.

I use AG Vinyl and Rubber Care. Does the jub, blackens it up a bit and you can control how much shine you want.

Mine just got jetsealed with the rest of the car.

I use Meguires Endurance Tyre gel on all external plastic trim. Apply it thin and evenly and leave for 10 mins then wipe off the excess with an old Microfiber. A little goes a long way, quite effective, cheap and lasts pretty well between washes.

The new diffusers on the msport models are painted now like a dark grey/ black gloss finish looks a lot nicer than the old one.
I assume the new 3 will be the same.

Mine is a painted a dark greyish colour and not just plastic so AG vinyl and rubber care won't do the job. Even though its painted its not like the rest of the bumper so I don't think normal polish/wax type products will do the trick.

Oh if it's painted forget my above. I thought they were plastic. What is it your after from the product?? Is it a matte finish? Got a pic?
