Black Strip Between T-Tops Ive posted this before without a solution. The black strip between my T-Tops has turned to Rainbow... I know Armor-All & stuff like that can turn things like that rainbow, but i am very careful when washing the car. How can I restore this to black.... Ive tried wax, scratch remover, etc. I know its a small thing to be worried about but i am very picky when it comes to my car. Thanks guys!

Its a local thing, but properautocare has a true black dye that will make it last. Back to Black (im my experience) doesnt last terribly long and attracts dust like holy hell.

following on lastSS's post, if you do use back to black (hoping you dont) dry buff it afterwards and be careful around the seams and edges, thats where you will get runs from.

grab your blue dawn squirt it onto the bar, grab a clean clay bar and start working it. I spent about 15 to 30 min for 3 to 4 days to get it to cleaned up.

a little polishing compound(perfect 2 or 3,by 3M),and a little hand rubbing will work the best,followed by a good cleaning,then an application of wax(compound found at your local paint supply stores)((Mattos,FinishMaster<etc.))
