looks much better cleaned  :cool:

Is that what the plastics look like with the bumper care applied? if it is then there not very black really  :huh:
The bumpers havent been treated for 8mnths lol...so thats the first coat in a while.. it will have another coat of bumpercare and wax... if you compare the splitter to the bumpers you can see how much its dyed it already.

Cant wait to sort out the tinting of the indicators and rear lights... im running 5mm on the front already.. i dont know if i want to take it out further if i can help it.. dont wanna put no extra force on the wheel bearings

oh god yeah you can see the difference, i was just saying not as black as it could be, but then again i didnt know you have to put more layers on  :wink:
I think i asked before but you didnt answer........... when you put this stuff on the bumpers, door trim etc, when you come to wash the car do you find it gets onto the paint work and makes a horrid waterproof effect on the paint work?  i had that when i used Back to Black on my old polo years ago, and it was terrible for that.
Suppose im being fussy but i found it annoying going all over the paint work, and then it never goes away because it sits in your sponge   :huh:

For the tyres & plastic trim (exterior) I'd suggest Megs Endurance gel....

For the wheels, just use the wolfgang sealant & a layer of Dodo.....

Black WOW is the best product I have ever used, damned expensive but it seems to last forever, brought many a piece of weathered grey plastic back to a gleaming black finish

black shoe polish the one in the bottle with the sponge on the top

I put Chemical Guys bumper Gel on mine. it really is very good, beads and lasts a good while. plus you get a nice aplicator with it

through my experiance of panel beating you dont need back to black to bring faded bumpers back to life!

all you need is a hot air gun, hold the gun about 2-3inches away from the bumper and just run over it carefuly bit by bit and they will start returning to go black again! but mask off the edge of the painted parts as if you go to close you will melt the paint!
this aint no bulls**t i made up as it really does work and it lasts alot longer too!

as i said try it but be very carefull not to melt your bumpers!
