Autoglym Trim Detailer. :wink:

Great stuff - if you can find it, I got mine in the bargain bin in Halfrauds so might have been old/discontinued stock.

Autoglym rubbber and vynl care for me! its a citrus smelling liquid and is a LOT thinner than Bumper Care. only used it twice so far though so not really had time to tell if its worse in the long run?
