Re: Question 2. Had my cat spayed - any help ?

They look a mess.

You really need to attack them hard with paint polish. Someone else on here said their detailer went hard with Ultimate Compound by Meguiars.

I've tried a few things and it does seem that polishing them as paint rather than treating them as plastic is the way to go.

Mine were painted gloss black from new by the supplying dealer and in the process they painted over the limited edition number on my car f*%#* numpty’s
But for me gloss black paint is the best way to go

I polished mine with compound. They weren't that bad though. Try a light cut compound first. If that doesn't work, mix it with some heavy cut. If that doesn't work go 100% heavy cut. If the heavy leaves them rough, finish with the light cut. Treat them like paint. Finish with Aerospace 303. Mine came up like new. If that doesn't work, wrap Let us know how you go.

Has anyone tried painting with that plastic/vinyl paint you can buy?

Nicely done

Thanks for all your comments...... RCZers.
Was told that wrapped would be £80 a side due to the length of the arches... And I have seen a couple that have been done and you can still see the edges of the wrap... And when I was quoted £125 a side sprayed piano black I had to go for it.... These where sprayed off the car as to get a better finish at the edges. I removed the arches with help from a good friend as its always better with two pairs of hands and we both could not believe how easy they are to replace... Smiles all round.... So all there is to say now is...

Been thinking of what to do with my arches as they have milky spots, have tried t cut but no use, phoned a few places but all ha e said the chrome arches can't be sprayed.

They do look really good in black
