Hi I have a corsa c 03 model sxi it hasn't got the facelift and the black on the rear and front bumper have both faded to a grey ish looking colour what's the best thing to use other than spray paint to darken the bumpers (there plastic not body work). I've been using good old "back to black" but rain washes it off after a week or so.

Thanks
Gary

Gtechniq c4. Very expensive at about £20 for a tiny bottle but it lasts and lasts.
