best stuff is something called black wow (although I've never used it myself) or alternativly try some peanut butter (it works wonders!  :wink:)

^ yip heard that myself,  not tried it though...

Another way is to use black Kiwi shoe cream,  rub in then buff off...  supposed to be one of the best for shine and durability..

I used boiled linseed oil for the first time on Tuesday night and it really brings the black up well. I tried Auto Glym bumper care (looks like snot) which worked well but it didn't really last so I'm hoping this will do the trick  :smiley:
