ive been told to use old engine oil, it feeds the plastic apparently, as obv plastic is an oil by-product..

I've just tried some autoglym bumper care for the first time, very impressed with the finish and beading.

I'll have to wait and see what happens when i wash it!

I wiped small amounts of Megs endurance tyre gel on mine as a test (plus I didn't have anything else) and it looks ace. Its been two weeks and there's no greying yet.

does the tyre gel have a high amount of silicone in it? does it affect your wash suds at all?

I used the back2black stuff from turtlewax and it worked really well, although most of the can probably went into the atmosphere and my lungs  :laugh:

When it fades I'll try the sponge top shoe polish. Maybe the wax based one first then the sponge top for extra assurance  :smiley:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
