Spea to Antonio from Waxit in the sponsors section. Ask for some Carpro Perl.

I use Meguiars Gold Class Trim detailer on my car.
Great product I reckon.

I'm using the Bowden's Own tyre shine at the moment! Was using the Autoglym Bumper care but found that it was a lot of work to apply as you had to work it in, and it wouldn't get rid of some of the lighter spots appearing in my plastic which the tyre shine cleared up straight away. Problem is I'm using a lot of it in conjunction with using it on my tyres, but worth it I think to get a great look on my bumpers and black trim. It did make my windshield rubber look a bit streaky at first but cleared up quickly enough as it soaked in.

EDIT- note my answer is for trims, not sure about the paintwork sorry!

Please...

Get yourself some 303 Aerospcace protectant. It's the best plastic/rubber trim restorer/protector money can buy. Any detailer will tell you so. ;)

303 is brilliant on the inside but Perl will have a bit more in durability on the exterior. But yes a great product.

Autoglym makes a product that is magic and nothing has come close to its ability to restore the finish, AND last. Bumper care and plastic restorer. It's green and easy to apply. I tried Meguiars, Mothers etc etc. Believe it! My EA has door handles etc look as good as new. It lasts about 3 months.
