Forget all the snake oil concoctions,i mean peanut butter if your that skint you should be on skateboard for transport.

Blowtorches can work for some,many it has not, not sure i like the idea of a nice blue flame next to your freshly painted bodywork. That one needs nerves of steel imho. unless you want to take the lot apart but why would you when you can just wipe on some bumper care.

It's very simples fellas, Autoglym Bumper Care been using the same as Mark for decades now and it's awesome stuff!!

Black spray paint/dyes works but what if the colour doesn't resemble the original. Oh dear.

Black is Black in fairness, no matter shade they want to call it, and that's what the bumpers etc were on day one so I don't think this is an issue. Everyone will have their own thing that works, in this case this was mine and it has held it's colour for 5 years despite rain/sun/washing etc. Quick fixes are just that.

I was deliberately being ironic.

The reason for my reply is i have seen this question several times and i find it amazing how most choose everything but the simplest inexpensive easy to apply products that you can also use to dress your tyres.Great buy,read the reviews below.

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.
