It's so worth doing imo, takes a bit of effort but as you say, if done right the results speak for themselves, i'm sure my neighbours think i'm mental putting coat upon coat on the car :grin:

There are a few, I usually use Chemical Guy's New Look Trim Gel, but if you want something much more durable, you could go for the Dodo Juice Trim Sealant.
