Can anyone reccomend a product to restore my faded bumpers, skirts and tyres? If not an all in one, maybe a product for bumpers and anotherfor tyres?
Cheers

thinners works well on tyres, back to black for black trims or paint them with matt black if you can, or even the t cut with black polish in works really well.

I read some where on one of the vw forums i think about people using shoe polish on the bumper trims and whel arch extensions, obviously e30s dont have them but maybe worth a try...

A body shop recommended a hairdryer for restoring plastic bumpers. I haven't tried it myself, but he swore it was better than back to black type products.
Did a quick google and found this:
