i couldn't really get a good photo, but here you can see the difference between the original color of the wrap and where it is now.

Here ya go. Mequire's Plast-X. Random auto buffer. Before and after.....[IMG]http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad173/wdonley/IMG_0141.jpg[/IMG]

awesome! thanks! that's the stuff i was looking at from Maguiar's.

I have also had excellent results with their Plastx and their Scratch-x products. I can tell no difference between these and my Novus products.

Just remember to clean the wrap first soapy water to remove all the gunk so you are not smearing it all around while trying to polish.

thanks for the tip.

the wrap is in pretty good condition overall. no serious damage, and the discoloration is minimal and even. probably just needs a good cleaning more than anything.

The SBP on my two was rough, and yellowed. It made even more of a diff then you can see in the picture....

I clean with soapy water, rinse, polish with Meguiar's Plastix and then Novus 1 buffing well between the Meguiar's and the Novus 1 and then again after the Novus 1. Works very well.

thanks everyone. i'm sure this question has been answered a ton of times, but - as you would expect - it's hard to narrow down a search on this site when you use the words "restore" and "wrap".

I use Maguires Cleaner Wax on most wrap, it does a great job and leaves a nice protective coat of wax. If it protects the paint on your car out in the sun and rain, it'll last forever on your wrap.

The color of that champagne wrap will not come back. There is a lot of metal in there, actual flakes of copper and another metal, and it tarnishes or discolors over time. It's under the surface, down inside the wrap under a layer of clear plastic - nothing will touch it...
