Morrisons own brand shoe scuff coverer, it comes in a grey bottle with a small sponge on top and is about 80p

2040 also works well to clean off dirt, but yeh the silicone is the nuts on all plastics for getting a good finish. and its free when you "borrow" it from work lol.

Oil of some sort, I've heard plain old engine oil works well, never tried it though. I use linseed oil, brush it on then buff it off about 15 mins later, works very very well and doesnt need redoing even after washing car with detergents. If you use it remember that the rags you use can spontaneously combust though if you leave em screwed up!!!!

Engine oil does work but when it rains it runs onto the paint... and is a magnet for dust, within a day its brown!
