Just wondering on what people use? i have this meguiars trim detailer but it doesnt make my corsa bumpers black its more a dark grey - i spoke to broster who said he uses autoglym and said it was real good - just wondering what everyone else uses and whether it makes it black or just a darker grey???
thanks

Autoglym's bumper care gel contains silicone and when mixed with UV light, accelerates fading.
Paint the arches dark grey instead.

Once you start using Bumper Care, you have to keep using it. Forever. And ever.
Plus it makes painting the arches at a later date a right twat to do as the silicone gets right into the plastic, so primer has a hard time keying into the surface.
