Mixture of products here.

Ag Bumper Care Gel on textured bits - Mirror Surrounds, Fog Light and exhaust Surrounds, Scuttle panel, washer jets and Rear Bumper Insert.

Poorboys Natural Look on the Upper Front grille and Rear wiper arm.

Einszett Vinyl and Rubber Care on the Front Splitter and Lower Grille.

Have some Black wow to try now though.

cheers for the advice guys.

some of the parts, especially the grille, are lookin at but dull n grey. Need to spruce em up a bit!

Hey Rich, looking at previous posts it's obvious you know how to look after your motor. Is there any pics of it on here so I can get some inspiration?? lol

Cheers.

unbelievable!!!!!

one of the best on here, for sure!!

everything is spot on!

My wheels aren't too bad but have brake dust in the corners etc. (not my wrong doin...only had the car 2 weeks, lol) should I take the wheels off an get stuck in with the products you mentioned using brushes? I'm just a bit scared of scratching em with the brake dust being baked on.

Appreciate this Rich, an yeah....that was some inspiration!

Cheers - Taking the wheels of will yield better results and make the job easier. I use some Halfords ones which seem ok if you use with care. Baked on brake dust in the corners may need a stronger wheel cleaner or the use of a claybar to remove it.

Actually really excited for the weekend now!!!

Thanks again Rich, i'll try n get some pics up on here to show you the results when i've finished.
