auto glym bumper care and plenty of elbow grease. or back to black plastic restorer. for the b to b stuff you whip it on and leave it for 5 mins then buff it off.

peanut butter is ment to work well too.

The only way you're going to get those bumpers to look like new is to spray them with Halfords bumper spray.

Normal boot polish.

Kiwi works a treat.

Just takes alot of the stuff, stays nice for a while though..

clean it all up so there's no crap on it, use a heat gun, dont get too close or it'll melt it, so it brings the black pigment back and then use a bumper care of your choice, i recommend autoglym stuff
