    What do you use to shine the removable tops on your 348's? I know some of the 355's have tops with matching paint. I am talking about the ones with the textured surface. I made the mistake of putting some wax on it. NO!!!!!! I had to rub for about two hours to get it all off. At first it was a white glazed mess. Rubbing hard with hot water finally got it back to looking good again. I had tried Armor All on it before but the look was temporary and ok at best. So what do you guys use? Thanks!

    There is also some stuff called 'forever black' that brings faded automotive trim surfaces to a zen-like finish .............. :cool:

    Griot's vinyl dressing, used in moderation, keeps it black. I don't like it shiny, so I use very little and wipe it off.

    Not to be bashed here but I use the website Detailed Image for checking out most products. Being in Canada I try to buy local but I have found a product from Poor Boys called Trim Restorer. I purchased it at Eshine, it is a site located in Canada. Cannot say enough about this stuff works great and does not appear to streak. I leave my jag out side and this stuff works great at restoring the black.

    The other product which works well and was mentioned here, but is pricey as all heck is Black Wow. You do not get too much of this product and it seems expensive for the quantity you receive.
