Black plastic/rubber trim care

[anothere21323i]

What do you guys use to brighten up your black plastic trim? I've heard all sorts of tricks like using smooth peanut butter, but I was wondering if there are any detailing products available which come highly recommended? I'm having a bit of paintwork done on my touring and my bumper trims are a bit faded, so I want to smarter them up to compliment the nice new paintwork.

Any suggestions?

I just used Autoglym Trim Gel, good results, all the faded black went back to black.

[anothere21323i]

Cool, thanks for the tip. Does it look natural and original? Also what did you use to clean the parts beforehand?

[Rav335uk]

I just washed the car as normal, dried all the plastics, and used a micro fibre cloth, from faded to natural Black, doesn't look like it was sprayed, but as it should

[anothere21323i]

Great, thanks! That's just what I'm after.

Is that the bumper gel stuff Rav?

[Rav335uk]

The Autoglym Bumper and Trim Gel.

Cheers Rav! Sure I've got some hidden in the shed somewhere.

[Rav335uk]

Should be a Green Gel in the bottle

Bought some this morning so looking forward to seeing how it works

Only apply it to the microfibre cloth, and a little at a time.

Someone here recommended gtechniq c4. I've bought some as an application is meant to last up to 2 years but i haven't tried it yet

Gel in my experience only lasts a month

Great tip, thanks
