I'm looking at replacing my aging front head light surrounds(black rubber things). Does anybody have a spare set they would like to sell? Pm if you have any. Thx

Mike, I don't know where you're located (why don't you complete your profile for vehicle and where you are), but there was a thread here recently about refinishing them. I think it was started by amzimmy.

Please complete your profile. Thanks.

Mike,

here the product available in SA, I am sure that you can obtain something similar in the US, just remember that the water based solution has to be thinned out!

May be someone on the forum is kind enough to direct you to a local supplier in the US.

I have had good luck with "Back to Black". Available at Walmart and other fine retailers. A little elbow grease and repeated applications get excellent results. My vehicles are garaged, so I cannot say as of yet its "holding" power/
