Bumpstrips...
I've done some searching around and a lot of threads have said that Auto Glym bumper care is best for getting bump strips back to black, but I've found it doesn't last very long until it goes grey again, is there anything better out there I could be using?

yea either gtechniq C4 or dodo juice supernatural gloss trim protection, both products report of lasting anywhere from 6-12months and will give a natural look finish. Have a search on google and im sure you'll find pics

I found the gtechiq c4 to work really well at first, shame its quite expensive for such a teeny bottle. Since i first used it at Trax though i've noticed its reacted with some plastics
It cant have weathered/worn as i've only done 1500 miles or less since then  Plus some of the reacted plastics are in the engine bay so away from the sun...

thought there was only one size, "teeeny little one"
My bad, just checked the site. Think i missed the drop down menu where you can change the size of bottle  so most likely the 15ml one I got. Was enough in it to go round the car 1.5 times (i've no painted bump strips btw)
