Autoglym bumper care is very good as well.
Definitely! Used the stuff recently and I reckon its transformed the look of my car! Looks very "complete" now, and its still going strong a few weeks  on with all the heavy rain we've had

Oh I've not noticed I just buff off after an hour so it doesn't look to shiney..

That stuff's good for a cheap alternative.
I put it on with a j cloth then buff it off with a microfibre.

Has anyone tried tyre wall blackener on their bumpers?

Probably a daft thing to ask, but was just wondering it it would last longer because its thicker and gloupier  :laugh:


(As above) Golf MK3 & genuine BBS RX 16"wheels, now for sale separately - Just ask for details - Thanks, Les

Looks good although i think you missed the front splitter in one of the pics?

I have found that the Meguirs stuff is pretty good compared to most other blackeners on the market.
