This has been discussed elsewhere on the site, think I last found something on it in the mk2 section... try a hairdryer or a heat gun (gently) on it. I've not tried it myself, but I'm going to give it a go when the weather improves...

I use Autoglym bumper gel and think thats very good, the key is to make sure that whatever your putting it on is very clean before you apply it and I use a sponge and go over everything twice then buff off with a clean cloth.
