Totally agreed, you'll never get them perfect, and then they look bl00dy awful. Wouldn't bother. Just give um a wipe every so often .I looked at them a few months ago and decided they would be a massive ball ache to get 'nice'
Creases, air bubbles, et al.
If you do find them again I would be interested to see how you get on.
Yeah I'm paranoid about scratching it, and it's an absolute dust magnet...I think from the aircon
I have used for a number of years, a very soft detailing brush on the internal piano black finishes. To brush away dust etc, prior to cleaning lightly with a soft damp microfibre if required, seems to work for me.
I can understand that, get a cloth specifically for screens, laptop, i pad etc.
Great Quality & my first purchase for my x power. Mines on the boot, with hindsight I should have either bought a matching chrome version or debadged before applying the Black. Anyway I like the badge (should be on from factory).Thought this would be a good long term thread to add any accessories we buy for our XPower's
After seeing Dr Andy Perry's Xpower badges I though I'd get one - not sure where I'll put it yet though !

I bought a clear full set for my Wife to protect her totr Trophy. Paid around £30
. Waste of money! Manages to do the gear/handbrake panel with a ripple, as soon as you peel the backing off it coils up sticking to itself. The rest was left on the rolled sheet & binned. Currently looking for an interior ceramic solution, did wax the interior plastic (gloss black parts) with the wax pictured.
Ofcourse!
plasti dip why didnt i think of that. The badge pictured is a spare, wanted the engine bay cover wrapped in carbon & was sticking it on there. Apparently cant be done? Wont stick. So got a quote to hydro dip it (is that the correct term 
). A firm in Preston Lancashire quoted £265 + vat & would need it for 2 weeks 
meaning I left it black & chucked it back on.. When you ope the boot it comes on, it times out with the boot light & goes off when you close the boot same as the boot light. The only worry is that Im 56 & fecking around modifying a car which started because in factory form lots of “basics” are missing.
I get this wont be for everyone & my car is doubling in weight thanks to Ali express accessories. I fitted this today and it was easy! Cost £9.00. There is no double sided tape involved, it simply sits in the back edge of the boot rubber. Once you get round to the start again you cut to length with sharp scissors & pop the supplied Scilicone cap on the cut. It has 2 wires Red & I think black & a host of connectors/ tape & spare wire come with it. 1: carefully pop open the left side cloth panel. 2: reach in and release the end push clip on the boot light pushing it out & into the car. 3: feed light strip wire behind cloth panel & out of the boot light hole. 4: connect the 2 light bar wires to the 2 boot light wires. 5: reassemble & tweak light bar strip so you are happy. Done
56! Spring Chicken!
Thankyou for making me feel “normal” I have a health issues & spend more time polishing & improving my car than I do driving it
I'm damn near 57 myself, and really feeling it of late.
Its all I can do to pop a wheel off the car lately.
Knackered.
I really like what you've done m8.
When you open the hatch at night in public, folk are going to think a space ships turned up!
I can see me using some of that as an interior light, especially in the rear as a courtesy light.
Just depends how long the boot light stays on?
Great place to take the power from.
Thanks for the link.
Amazing how they do it for such a small amount of money.
. I enjoy tinkering about on my drive. The boot light times out after (guessing now) 2 or 3 mins, when you are fitting it you keep thinking the connection is dodgy as the light strip goes off, then realise why. I still think “the best” rear passenger light solution is to buy a new rear light, drill a small hole in the headliner where its going, thread 12V wire through to the dismantled front cabin roof lights & connect. Then either screw/double tape or no more nails the new rear passenger light in position. Just like the boot strip it will behave as the front light does i:e come on with drivers door & time out. I must say though going to all these extremes is becoming “annoying” on a brand new car that falls short in so many basic areas. That said it keeps me out of mischief Yes it lights up the boot interior. I havent got a gold tissue box/beaded seat cover or religious beads swinging from the rear view mirrorDoes it actually light up the boot's interior?
Or doesn't it matter, bling is bling?
Yet.Yes it lights up the boot interior. I havent got a gold tissue box/beaded seat cover or religious beads swinging from the rear view mirror
You forgot the Panama Hat in the back window.Yes it lights up the boot interior. I havent got a gold tissue box/beaded seat cover or religious beads swinging from the rear view mirror
