1992 Legend L Black Sde Moldings

Hello Guys,

Does anyone know how to restore my side moldings? My 1992 legend comes with black side moldings, but they look faded and ugly; probably because the previous owner used to spray armor all on them. Whenever I'm done washing the car, the moldings look so dried up. What can I do to restore them? or to at least make them look better? Thanks Guys

I have this same problem. But a couple of companies make some stuff. Meguires has "back to black" and I have some off brand called "black chrome" but These are really temporary solutions. IMO they look worse after about 2 months. I've been wanting to get this stuff called "forever black". It's sold in BMW catalogs and over the internet. But supposedly it dyes the molding and wont fade over time.

Poorboys is not sold in stores. Online only though their website or a distributer.

You can check your car dealerships for Aerospace 303 if your local autopart store doesn't carry it. Its rather pricey (It's about $13 at Kragen autoparts) but it works great on almost everything.

Some Ace Hardware stores carry 303. I have an Ace card and I'm always getting coupons in the mail. I only buy it with a $5 coupon or more.

got my 303 from a Bay Marine store. If you know any place in your area where they sell RV/boat products, they should have 303 aerospace products.
