Yeah, the green stuff. Shake it before using because it separates when it sits for any length of time.

I applied it with a vinyl brush. It looks like a toothbrush only the head is a little longer so it covers more area. A toothbrush would work, just would take a little extra time. Try to scrub it in and then let it sit. I was impatient and wiped down after only half an hour, but in the past I would give it a couple of hours to really soak in.

Enjoy!

Very nice Butzi! I guess my eyes have becomed accustomed to looking at a rear wing painted to match the rest of the car, but either way yours is simply beautiful. Hard to argue against it...

Definitely!
So I'm in the process of taking the spoiler of the car and get the grill painted along with my new Euro Turbo bumper and rear bumperetes.
So did you guys remove the grill from the spoiler or just get them to mask off the painted part of the spoiler. I guess I better do a search to get some more feedback.....
