Thanks in advance

Autoglym bumper care works a treat, but you have got to keep applying it ever now and again. Its also good on rubber spoilers and the front chin spoiler.

 :wink:

First Golf, lots of work. I've started so I'll finish!

the shoe polish will last around a year bearing mind when you do this method you just have the keep applying coats of the polish to how light or dark you want your bumper
