i have always used auto glym bumper stuff (bumper snot!) on previous cars but what's good for use on bmw plastics?

the auto glym stuff seems to work best on tectured plastics (205 gti's, lost of it!) but the plastic on E30's seems a lot more 'waxy' so something else is probably better.

any recommendations?

oh, i might add, not m-tech tech bumpers one mine so there's a lot more plastic on show.

I use Meguiar's All season dressing. Works a treat and is easy to apply!

www.seriousperformance.co.uk stock it.
