Platic trim

[David Ramsey]

What would people recommend to use on the black plastics on the exterior. I'm not after anything fancy, just to look OK. I have some products at the minute but they tend to run off the trim and onto the bodywork if the cars are left in the rain.

I use Ag Bumper Care - when applied properly - rubbed well in, left to stand and then buffed well it should not streak.

same stuff - its cheap it lasts and i get loads of comments about what i use on it! 1.95 from morrisons garage part hehe! ive bought more expensive products and this is just as good or if not better imo!

Picture of said product

+ ive used this as well http://www.ciao.co.uk/Carplan_Wet_Look_Tyre_Slik__Review_5752713 which gets good reviews and is more money! (and im 99% sure its the same stuff in a different can just twice the price)

Best 1.95 spent! :approve:

I use engine oil diluted with some water, I wonder if veg/olive oil would work too?

smooth peanut butter. cheaper than anything else and lasts a lot longer!

Baby oil works well but doesn't tend to last very long. I personally use Megs trim gel.
