Bumper strip stuff.......

[R3OBC]

right guys, due to the clio sitting outside my house almost constantly, and not getting driven much, everytime i come to wash it, my front bumper inserts are a HORRID colour!!! i have some auto glym bumper gel, but, to be honest, it pisses me off and i dont rate it that much! i need to stop by Halfords on the way home and get something decent........

what you reccomend for a good off-the-shelf product for me to get them black with as little mess and fuss as possible............

rich recommended applying the auto glym stuff with a soft brush (toothbrush) did actually work surprising well, so might be worth a shot first.

will bear that in mind mate!! does it go out of date? lol, ive had it a while

 

[Rich]

I swear by the AG Bumper care stuff, is not good tho if not applied correctly. As above work it well in with a soft brush to textured trim and buff the residue well after with a clean cloth.

Smoother not textured trim, I prefer AG Vinyl and Rubber Care, again buff really well after application for best results.

The new look trim gel is the best trim detailer i've ever used....

The silk shine is also very good on tyres and arch liners!!

I work in Carnoisseur and I don't think theres any better product on the market than Meguiars Gold Class Trim Detailer and its only about £6.

WD40 works a treat as well just dnt let it run down your paint.

On the back bumper strip I use the Autoglym Bumper care gel. Work it well and it should sort it out.
