black wax!, gives the result of back t black but lasts ages can have a matt finish or buff it for a glossy finish... maguires i'd recommend or the platinum series turtle wax - like me, u can get it all from halfrauds!

Auto glym bumper care is good too, thats what i use but i use the black wax on my grille cos it can look a bit weathered at times.

i use my old engine oil lol. need to give it a good rub in though because it can be sticky and so picks up dust.

I know!!! I spent the best part of 2 Fu*king hours cleaning, drying, and bumper caring the car and he went and pissed me off big time. I got my own back tho:y: I told him we aren't taking him to the airshow in July and we've invited the other neighbours instead lol His face was a picture when he found out :clapping:
