What do you use ?
The show season is nearly here. I was wondering what people use to get their bumpers black ?
I have used the Autoglym Bumper and Trim Gel for years. It looks great after application but only lasts about a week. It is also greasy and messy.
A few years back I 'invested' in some Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer. This worked great for about 6 months. Considering the cost I won't be doing it again. It has lasted very well on my SAAB though.
So what do people use ? Any good products out there or should I just buy more AutoGlym ?
Don't fancy trying peanut butter by the way !

In the past I've used boiled linseed oil, that's very cheap, and also very very good.

My bumpers on the Mk1 Scirocco are turning quite grey now so this summer I'm trying the heat gun method as well as autoglym but you have to be careful not the melt the bumper and I've read you can only do this method once in a long time as it brings the oil out of the bumper.

Will give it a try. I already use it on the interior and like the stuff.

Anyone on here tried that? I have been meaning to give it a go myself but haven't had the time yet!
