Black trim Revamp...
so i know stores sell all sorts of crap to refinish black trim so it has a rich black color. I got sick of paying so much money for a crappy product. So i decided to try something new. I used conventional motor oil to revamp my black trim. Its been a week...and the trim has not lost any richness. Its working better then anything i have used before, and its cheap. so it this bad for the trim? i mean the plastic is just oil..so it cant to much harm can it?

i dunno if its bad for the plastic or anything, but i would venture to guess that the oil is just sitting on top of it for the time being. does it feel slick or greasy at all?

Sounds like it makes sense. Nice tip man thanks for sharing it. I'm going to go renew my front grill once I get a chance.
