whats a good black trim restorer??

I have used a black polish and shoe polish! (dont ask) but they just dont seem to do the job.

What can I use to get my exterior trim back to showroom finish???

Do you absolutely NEED a micro fibre cloth to apply that stuff or will a normal J-cloth or cotton cloth do the trick?

ok guys, cheers for the advice. I think i'll give the megs bumper care a whirl as their stuff is usually bang on the money. Failing that, I'll try the baby oil approach (would use peanut butter but im allergic to peanuts! D'OH!)

The other option is to use a dashboard shine as it does the same as back to black only it lasts longer!!
