Both available from Halfords

I would rate Autoglym bumper care as better at getting rid of white polish marks.

also a heat gun will return most plastics to black - just watch your paint

For one time only as the heat will burn off the oils in the plastic and they wil be permanently faded when they do again fade.

All the peanut/wax ones are because of the oil. You can rub any oil on, I used to find WD40 gave quite a nice sheen.
The Autoglym bumper care is even better but its a few quid as opposed to a bit of sunflower oil!

Petree is quite right. I've found good old WD40 just be just the ticket

WD40 is good stuff.

Also people 3 for 2 at halford starts this week again on car cleaning stuff.

cant remember what its called but its like back to black but a a lot cheeper and it lasts a few months rather then more then two days. you get it from shop that automotive paint products to trade made by tetrosol comes if gallon tins £15

wd40 runs when it rains and leaves road film marks i would use engine oil

cheap and cheerful baby oil!

atrixblue.-MFR-.

baby oil, black shoe polish, autoglym car care products are great so is the silicone spray brings the plastic bits under bonnet up good as well as bumpers.
peanut butter, cookig oil, black plastic spray paint on a rag and rub over plastic dont spray it as over spray will go everywhere on the car if doing outside (mask off the paint work before you do it) most of wich has been covered here.

or have them colour coded and forget about haveing to re do it and be carefull when polishing the car.

groundnut oil is very effective, and dirt cheap too
