Loads of threads on it if you did a search!  :rolleyes: :grin:

Boiled linseed oil, Auto Glym Bumper care, and heat gun are the preferred and best options. Wouldnt recommend spraying it, some may argue but I've seen quite a few after a couple of years where it has started to flake off, and it looks atrocious! :sick:

my splitter somehow has some cuts in it so i'm gonna take it off, head it up and use a butter knife to smooth it out and hide the cuts, guessing its where the car bottomed out coming of the previous owners drive

iv tried everything once, but always come back to Auto Glym bumper gell, if you aply with a sponge, then buff off it works really well..

do mine every other wash of the car, keep it built up..
