@Christopher
Black wow = didn't help to cover the lines/marks. I am glad I didn't spend £50 on a big bottle.
Will try the Poorboys next and then the Peanut Butter

VW guys use pine oil on their bumpers. I believe it had a habit of catching fire in direct sunlight so be careful where you leave the rag afterwards.

I've used gTechniq C4 before, it's not bad. Pricey, and it's all in the prep.

What about the car? Car parked in the sun and when you return, a smoldering wreck, my wife would kill me,.....

I used a heat gun followed by 1 coat of Autosmart Trim Wizard on this cheap mk3 I bought last year. Was shocked how well it turned out

Auto smart Ultra Trim thats the stuff, trim wizzard is good but dries off after a few days or rain.

I always use megs purple tyre gel on the trim on the BM and the Golf, its incredible haha... Good on the tyres too funny enough! ;-)

eBay a trim dye called plasticare. It's a long lasting product and works very well, you'll probably need to remove the plastic as it's not easily removed and I doubt wouldn't be good for your paint. I used it on my 205 trims and it's really good.

I think the likes of megs and others aren't really a restorer, they're really only a short term thing. Good job but you need to dye them for lasting results

Kiwi shoe scuff polish, the bottle that comes with sponge applicator. It'll last for months upon end
