Hi,
What's the best or recommended product to clean the back black bumper and skirts?
Was going to use back to black, but just wondering if that's the best?
Many thanks

Have a look in the detailing section, i use Autoglym bumper care.
Mods will prob move this post :happy2:

Thanks mate.
Had a look at autoglym, and looks like that's what I need :happy2:
-
Yep, Autoglym Bumper Care is the one. Last time this question was asked, that was the majority vote. Once the water stops beading off it, reapply.
-
i use poorboys trim restorer at the moment might have to try the auto glym one too see how it compares

My boy says "Black Wow" is good for restoring the black of faded black plastic , i have used it and not that impressed as it doesn't appear to restore , just makes it blacker for a while . This is on the wifes Cooper diesel , haven't got asny black plastic on my car . Thats one of the reasons i went for an Edition 30 as it doesn't have any and looks new all the time :innocent:

Get it cleaned with an APC, then use carpro dlux, or carpro perl
-
Most products work well as long as the area to be treated has been well prepared. That usually means cleaning really well with a strong APC or similar. Get at it with a tooth brush or kitchen-style scrubbing brush to make sure it's really clean before adding any restorative agent..

I used Bumper Care for a long time on my car. Then came across Auto Finesse's 'Revive' and it certainly last's longer.
Failing that, try G-Techniq's 'C4'. Now for a small bottle, it's £18, but it's rare you have to use it again as it is a permanent trim restorer...

Thanks Kaz. Heard good things about revive so I'm going to get a bottle of that tomorrow when my local detailer gets back from their Xmas holidays!!

No worries!
I would recommend the G-Techniq stuff too, if you become frustrated with re-applying Bumper Care or Revive every so often!

Auto Finesse revive! :happy2:

What's your dashboard made of? Walnut?! :signLOL:

Penut oil :happy2:
-
Yep smooth Peanut Butter can work well too.
I've used that before and saw a Fox licking my plastics late at night!
-
Gtechniq T1 tyre and trim good as well tt wont last as long as their C4 but its not bad.

I use chemical guys new look trim gel works a treat, a little bit of the stuff goes a long way had the bottle for a year and hardly used any of it :happy2:
