have a search in the cosmetics section for loads of opinions. alot of people use kiwi black shoe polish type stuff, you know the bottle with a sponge applicator? but i've found used engine oil is excellent but no-one seems to trust me!

I had a small bumper 16V and used Autoglym bumper care and thought it was good but I'm gonna try the meguires bumper stuff as all the other stuff I've bought of theres is very good, I think its a personal thing really, find something you get on with and stick to that

Hi matey give it some Kiwi action shoe polish make sure it's water proof. let it dry for five and then buff of the crud, then whack some autoglym bumper care goop on it. Engine oil works until it rains then you spend 30 minutes looking for an oil leak in the rain to realise it's your bumpers running!!

i always get asked what i use on mine.

Autoglym bumper care with plastic & vinyl care mixed. The vinyl care makes it easier to apply

Many thanks, I think I'll try mixture of the lot and perhaps whack in some road tar just for good measures!!

Cheers Autoglyn it is.
