my sunday afternoon efforts

Tried boot polish, and the stuff in the bottle, also tried a blowtorch. Nothing gets a good a result IMO as masking off the bumpers and using acryllic bumper paint. It's nice and matt and it lasts forever. It's also a very good match to original stuff - bought some genuine g60 arches and where they meet the painted sills you can barely tell the difference.

bumper paint??  never heard of that... is it expensive?

[Guy]

thanks, I've read lambs/sheeps wool mits are the best

deffo... they hold contaminates within and not on the surface reducing the possibility of swirl/scratches

also two bucket method is a must

Nah, found it by the cans of spray paint in the motor factors.

I notice you have the german number plates... awsome! have ou even been pulled over for them of fined?
i soo want them but apparently they are illegal, car looks good btw...

[mk2mark]

Never once been pulled or fined. But that's probably cause they're irish plates and I'm in Ireland.
