Targa roof

Hi
What's the best way to "spruce up" the targa roof on a 914, has any one used "back to black", is it any good?

A tin of good old-fashioned black shoe polish, a shoe shine brush, and loads of that strange stuff, elbow grease, that they used to be very keen on when we were cadets! Back to Black is not much more than clear silicone, and doesn't restore the colour that much.

While you're at it, you could have the steering wheel put back to the proper side...........................................

Cheers!

That way the boss still has some control!

Didn't you know the most dangerous part on a car is the nut holding the steering wheel?

Slightly biased, I use Seal Feed from our product range (Swissvax UK) on mine. Over time it has made the seals black again and kept them from drying out any further.

It is also good on any other seals, I use it on my everday car for the door seals and it stops the doors freezing to the seals in the bad weather.

Never found anything that works for very long
I use one of the "back to black" waxey type products . Found they work well but only short-term . Try and get the one that is white in the bottle . There is a black one but that just leaves big black streaks down your car the first time it rains .
