back to black

[houston]

if the bumpers are really bad then use hydraulic oil, take your time and rub it in well and it feeds the plastic and they come up gleaming, than leave for a bit and wipe it down and use a dashboard polish to give it some shine

i use Turtle Wax black in a flash gel works like a treat, but gonna give the shoe polish a blast on the weekend and see how good that is

Will take a before and after with Kiwi shoe polish tonight mate.
Just been doing my old GTI arches ready to sell and I still have 1 not done yet so can do a comparison side by side

I was unsure so did some before and after pics here (OK its wax not polish)

thrilled to bits with the result 

This is my car at inters probably a couple of months since I last did the bumpers with kiwi

So whats best the old stuff in a tin or the bottle stuff??

[j_s]

In a bottle with the sponge applicator on top

[robiwill]

another way and guys be careful doing this but use a hair drier or a height gun on them. the sun bleaches the black pigment from the bumpers if your careful and keep a fair distance away so you dont melt em you will be amazed at the difference as the direct height draws out the black pigment to the surface and it lasts for ages. then just some polish to give it the shine

[patch900]

Use the stuff with the sponge applicator, I have found its the best

Looks the nuts when the car it all clean, waxed etc
