sorry mate, i meant external black trim... the plastic bits such as window seals etc :)

we used to have some autoglym exterior rubber and trim polish stuff worked very well

say oih POLISH bloke get off my car ! lol

i use "armorall" for all the trim interior / exterior ,including tyre side walls ..........great stuff

Mer bumper care aint bad either

i would get hold of some Tar and glue remover made by autoglym or other top brand go round all your external rubbers with it then go round with some bumper gel or autoglyms rubber trim restorer, the t &g will pull the polish off and clean the rubbers right up then us the gel to protect and give it back its luster

cheerZ chaps :)

agreed . top stuff

Boot polish is an inexpensive way of 'blackening' up the trims.

Once you've got them how you want them, mask them off

next time you polish the car, takes a few minutes but saves a

lot of hassle trying to remove the polish from them afterwards.

All you will ever need for valeting too! Lol

I Meguiar's trim detailer. Excelent results but be careful not to get it on your windows if you're doing the window trims, it's a sod to get off again.

Yep black boot polish.

 

Thats all they use at vauxhall.

Autoglym Bumper Care is superb stuff, brings all the external rubber and plastics up like new with none of that sticky mess you get from Back To Black etc
