anything to blacken up my plastics ?

[gillm]

as above . is there anything i can use ? needs to be easy to apply and last some time and not look rubbish and shiney like some do .

[VC]

I use autoglym bumper care, works a treat and soaks in rather than leaving a shiny surface 

[NEWEY]

Boiled linseed oil work a treat on the mk2 and lasts at least a month. Started using it on the mk5 now too

If its exterior plastics then I favour Autosmart Trim Ultra cheap and durable, along the same lines as what newey added. Curing time takes a bit longer dependant on the weather/temp.

Hi mate.

Aerospace 303 gives a nice natural finish. And chemical guys silk and shine does too  
I find that if you srcub the plastic area in question with a fairly strong solution of apc and then dry before applying your chosen product will give you a far better finish.
Same applies to the tyres, i spray them with AG engine cleaner, scrub then rinse. You'll be amazed what comes off them, leavin you a nice base to apply your tyre dressing.

Chemical Guys New Trim Gel. Just a dot of the stuff onto a small applicator or sponge and work it in.

I used Chemical Guys for the first time last week and was very impressed. Always used AutoGlym bumper care but not anymore.

just ordered the chemical guys trim gel along with some window cleaner , as i never seem to get good results with anything else

It might sound weird, but peanut butter works brilliantly on oxidised plastics... Honestly!

Yes, I thought it was mad at first too but I used this method to great effect on my Lotus Elise and the results where really very impressive.

x2 - just remember to get the smooth.  It really works well.
