Default Can I add shine to rear flat black vinyl?

I just got my z's rear done in a flat black vinyl and it came out perfect. Shop only charged me $60 too! I am noticing though with my color of PG it really blends in and is hard to see. Anyone have any ideas of what I should do? I tried wax and didn't make a difference. Would shoe shine work? I am just trying to figure out how to add some gloss to my rear before the last resort of getting it re-done in gloss black.

Thanks for any suggestions

Are we talking about the rear diffuser? Post pic's if you can. When it comes to vinyl I don't think there would be anything you could do but re-wrap... I personally like flat black on PG.

Sorry yes I am talking about the rear diffuser. I will try to get some pics together soon. Flat black blends in a lot with the color and just trying to make it stand out a little more by giving it some shine (if possible)

The guy who did my roof wrap told me that I can use the spray wax in the shade and remove it immediately...:dunno:

try some liquid wax as papo mentioned.


but ideally you want to wait atleast 24hrs before getting them wet..especially lubricants like soap and wax. it could lift the edges.
