My dad owned my 4th gen before me. He waxed the car pretty regularly. However, he never taped off the molding/stripping/rubber around the glass so it's stained. Is there any way I can restore the black?

 

would love to know this also, bump

 

We might want to look into this stuff: http://autopia.org/forum/showthread....1&page=4&pp=12 Post 39.
This guy sold a 95 Max for a 99 Mazda Protoge, and is detailing the shat out of it. It's all documented. Again Post 39 - maybe that stuff will help...

 

Sometimes you can scrape the white residue off with your fingernail.

 

I know for a fact there are at least two products that are marketed exactly for this problem. Let me look around and see if I can find them.....I am pretty sure one is from Meguiars.


EDIT: Here are a couple

i use mother's back to black...it works pretty well

 

back to black is awesome.

 

You know what's sad? I have at least one of those at my house from ordering it with my huge **** Porter Cable accessory order, but thought I had ordered the wrong stuff since it looked to be advertised for the cheap looking plastic that can be found on some new cars these days...

 

yeah, the mothers black to black is the best. It works like a charm.

 

Used the Back to Black and it did the trick. Thanks for the suggestions; I now have another bottle of product to add to my growing list of detailing stuff.

 

I will tell you guys how the Meg's Trim Detailer works out on my car - itll be about 3 more weeks though.

 

here you go
