'back to black's not bad stuff, heard that some of the gel stuff lasts longer tho.

I used to use back to black gel trim conditioner, and wasn't very impressed because it looked very smeary, you could see lots of lines in it.
Then I used autoglym bumper care, which worked a hell of a lot better but seemed to only really last a week before they started to fade again.
Now I think I have found the answer, because this photo shows the car 1 month after it was last cleaned:

Shoe polish!

use the autoglym bumper care. do it as often as you can about 3 times then after that it should last a long time. mine look mint weeks after i have cleaned it and they dont fade. when you first do it it really helps if you try and rub it in to the plastic fairly hard.
For extra protection i do the bumper trims and tyres with the bumper care and then get a 'spray on' back to black or trim shine and spray over the bumpers and tyres after i have used the autoglym. They look really well after doing that, just like new!!!!
