Roof-rail Repairs

[leetom]

roof-rails are starting to get a bit tacky, matt paint is getting a bit flaky in places, any ideas how to tidy em up(& don't say take em off) their must be a product out their, any ideas, any help appreciated.

sand with a low gritt to remove all the old paint that is flaking. use 400-600 to blend sand so its smoothe, tape it off and spraypaint

Try Eagle One's Black Trim Wax - I use it on the bump strips on my front and rear bars and it brings them up like new! And sure beats stuffing around trying to paint them.

But yeah, knock it back with some fine wet and dry first if its flaking.

**EDIT - sorry, its not an Eagle One product, the one I used is called Car Plan. I couldn't find a proper link but this one shows you the bottle at least
