I took all mine off the pug last week and sprayed them. Looks 10x better becuase they were all faded grey.

I had a video of this before, i done my second corsa and they went from white to black really easy. word of warning though, dont keep it too close as they will melt and have a sponge and water near by to cool them down after.

i applied back to black straight after and they lasted 11 months until they went white again


edit: found a pic of it

Works really well. I only melted mine when i touched it by mistake. I was amazed when I first did it, lasts quite well too and hardly takes anytime to do
