Bumper Strips.
Cleaned my car today, first time I've personally washed it (only had it a month and a little bit though) had it valeted by some polish people at tesco, they done ok but I knew I could do better, first time washing a car properly. Anyways my bumper strips look faded, and one has what looks like mould on it... Most un-appealing, what can I use to make it look black again? I bought some turtle wax trim dress, but it was shit lol.

Auto Glym bumper care IMO is the best stuff, a bottle lasts ages. The old heat gun trick works well too
