Hey all
Picking up 2003 mk4 later on today...and I wish to get it back to shiny shiny black as possible?
I've got some turtle wax shampoo from asda as they did 100% extra free.
other than that am a bit lost on the myriad of products out there.. will be popping to halfords tomorrow.
I've heard Autoglym is good and so is meguires....
thanks all for your advice, any is very much appreciated.
all the best

Autoglym bumper care is really good stuff.

Autoglym Bumper Care is really good stuff, just make sure to really rub it into the plastic as if you leave it to wet it'll streak when it rains.

what about the paint work? meguires kits any good etc..?
cheers

How about this:

That is the best value for money kit for what you are after.

Waxamomo. Supply these newby's with some 'forever black' will you :cool:
Forever black is trim dye, degrease the trim (properly) apply 3 even coats of the dye.
It dred satin and is not greasy. almost a permanent fix.
OR there is 'black wow' which is applyed like autogrim bumper care
No more greasy trim that has dust stuck to it :sick:

I've just thrown some forever black in the bin... I thought it was that bad when I used it that I never touched it again
black wow is good... but not the best
the best in my opinion is http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/exterior-coatings/c4-permanent-trim-restorer/ (http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/exterior-coatings/c4-permanent-trim-restorer/) but it is VERY expensive for the amount you get.. but it does the job better than anything I have found... have a look in the 'black vinyl trim thread' in the stickies...

We work with plastics at work, iv just heated mine up with a plastic welder to bring up a fresh layer the plastic then Used a chemical plastic cleaner to refresh the colour, after that a plastics polish and they look brand new, as it's a fresh layer on the plastic, it shouldn't fade or disappear, il try get some pics up if I can! Very pleased indeed!!!!

We use with plastics at operate, iv fitting hot mine up with a impressible welder to transmit up a reinvigorated bed the impressible then Victimized a chemical impressionable shopkeeper to modify the tone, after that a plastics culture and they see variety new, as it's a invigorated bed on the plastic, it shouldn't pass or terminate, il try get both pics up if I can! Real delighted indeed!!!!
