Hey guys my front bumper and grill are starting to look very dull:(
What is the best thing to use to bring the black back? I've heard of back to black is that any good or is there anything that would work better?

Cheers guys

The various back to black products do work quite well on those parts - give them a try.

you could try some silicone spray test it first on somewhere you can't see though it works on some plastics and brings the colour back out

Good call - used to use this on bike plastics. Had forgotten about it!

Autoglym Bumper Care is a paste/cream that you rub in and then single wipe to get rid of the excess, I've always used that, though it does leave a "greasy" feeling behind, not so good if your going near it all the time, but works wonders on bumpers etc.
