This post isn't too useful I'm afraid....

I used to use lindseed oil on the bumper plastic with my mk2 which worked very very well.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work so well on mk3 plastic...

I've used Autoglym bumper care , turltle wax back to black and shoe polish. Best results I had were from shoe polish.
