Default Polishing trims/spoilers/wiper arms

Take a look at the latest pics I've added to my photo gallery

The results last forever

So yes you can polish unpainted materials.

It's some kind of composite, perhaps fibreglass injected resin like my twin deck spoiler

What I used was non abrasive trim burnish
I call it TRIM DREAM.
I'm patenting it soon but it's only going to be sold in Australia for BA to FG falcons, territorys, WRX STI's and most other late model cars

Process - rotary - 4 inch yellow, orange, white and black foam pads
1200 to 1500 rpm with fast movements to prevent any burns of the material

it works just as good by hand
the reason I posted this was to make everyone aware that you can polish trim.
So much better than putting armor all on every week

Thats incredible. Is this strictly for trims like you have presented.? Given the vast array of trims on the market and the composition, it would be nice to know if its for all trims or certain select trims. Very impressive, now, all we need is to know is how or when we in the US can purchase. Once again, nice job and Thanks for sharing and wetting our appetite.

what other areas can it be used on a WRX/STi? Very interested to see what else you come up with!
