A company called AUTOGLYM do some fantastic inner and outer trim cleaners/restorers. I have a friend in the second hand car trade and he swears by it...it may be worth a try. ;)

Yeah, I have got some of that, I works a treat for about a couple of weeks but then fades again. Good for making your car look good in the short term.

A cheaper alternative is that Back to Black stuff. That washes off even quicker though...

Hello,
I saw one of those BBC2 "Trade Secret" programmes a while ago where a butler regularly used black shoe polish on his lordship's Jaguar.  Haven't tried it yet but if it was good enough for him...
Cheers,
Tagawa

Hi, I have rather faded bits on me Golf mk11. Have tried the lot!! One of the best was "Wonder Wheels" Trim restorer. Have seen some paint for bumpers etc. but don't know of anyone that has actually tried it (Wilco's) for both. Could try Factor 35 sunscreen!
