Hi Guys

I've found what could possibly be the best, yet cheapest trim restorer - baby oil!

I know it sounds silly, but give it ago, its great. It restores the colour, and leaves a nice shiney finish, which actually lasts!

I've trialled it for the last few months, and the results are fanastic!!

I've tried all the various brands of trim restorer and back to black, all had no joy with either of them.

But the baby oil really is great, and had no ill effects what so ever!!

AutoGlym bumper care..

Any oils are going to give plastics a shine.. just depends how long it lasts.. hence.. peanut oil in peanut butter.. so you could use baby oil, vegetable oil..

Or.. just paint you bumpers black again with fresh paint.. and they wont be dull..

Lol. Always good to laugh before bed. :p

I've known this for ages and tbh I'd rather use autoglym still-not much in cost and you know the effects plus how long it lasts etc. I suppose when my huge bottle runs out I'll grab some peanut butter.

if anyone uses peanut butter on their car, they are thick.

just oing to make u look a prat, and is no better than any normal oil. and tbh, its a waste of money and tasty peanuts!

If u se T-cut on my grill... will it make it look black or just crap!? I used back to black and it improved to a dark grey. I am goin to spray it in the near future but until i do i just want it lookin nice and black.

If you use T-Cut on your black plastic Grille, you're probably going to find youself with an even more white / faded grille than before.

Don't recommend it myself lol...
Just keep going with Trim Shine / Back to Black / Baby oil etc
