Hi guys .... Having got myself an M-tech 1 spoiler from Dazleeds a while back I would like to know the best product to use to get the black (rubber i presume) back to normal.
I too have tried Back to Black on various bits (heater vents under windscreen, wing mirrors etc) and think it is absolute rubbish.

Don't mind paying a few quid more if the result is worth it.

Thanks ,

Well I have ordered the Gliptone to get the leather back from being a little "old" looking and don't know which polish to get.
Could do with something to take out small scratches as well.
Trouble with the polishingcompany is they want Ԛ£11 to deliver to Denmark whereas performancemotorcare just charged Ԛ£3 for delivery.
Don't polish the car very often so would like something long lasting .... would carnauba wax be the best option ??
And if so ... zymol, autoglym or meguiars ???

carnauba wax doesn't last very long at all

go for either Meguiars or Zaino, they should boith last pretty long and aren't natural (i.e. carnuaba) so will last quitew a while.

i think Zaino claims it lasts for up to a year, but every 6 months is more than enough

not sure about the meguiars stuff, never read much about how long it lasts etc
