Sorry vdt, misread the intention of your message. No denying Autoglym's products, I use only their stuff for all manner of cleaning and treating my audi's, it's the best of stuff.

No worries,i'm a creature of habit until something better comes along. I used to use an auto tin of black type of boot polish with a sponge applicator back in 84 on my first car. That stuff was good especially on vinyl roofs so think Cortina mk3's and Rover P6's but messy until Autoglym bumper care along. I'm just passionate about the stuff been using it ever since,it really does perform miracles.

What's it like for lasting power? Would you get long out of it?

It doesn't last more than about 4 months,it's not like i've timed it but that feels about right ... ... ... ish. So do it 3 times a year if the car is left outside all the time. I can't say how long it would last for a garaged car but i would guess much longer.

I'm a peanut butter man myself Mark! wonder product in my opinion great at restoring black plastic and removing the odd bit of way wood polish off any black trim.

I do worry that the squirrels may take a fancy to my mirrors though :lol:

If I have to redo it 3 to 4 times a year that has made my mind up.... I am going to try the Wurth stuff as want to redo at most once a year, ideally longer than that between coats.

It just needs care, that is all........and then some linseed oil rubbed on(about a fiver for half litre).
No nerves of steel, just big cahoonies..........I'm off out on me skateboard!:lol:
