Give the grill a good scrub with all purpose cleaner, then try chemical guys new look trim gel, very good at restoring trim colour and a lot cheaper than gtechniq!

The NLTG can also be used as a tyre dressing, lasts ages and beads nicely.

Well took the plunge and ordered 15ml of GTechniq C4, £35!!   :surprised: Let's just hope it lasts, they advertise it as Permanent restorer and then contradict themselves by saying it'll last approximately 2 years!  :confused: Still, I've heard plenty of people raving about it so it must be good stuff...  :happy2:

Two years is a lot longer than the two weeks that most products seem to last. :happy2:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Very true, judging by the threads praising this product up over on DW, I should imagine it'll be at least 2 years, rather than up to 2.

 [geek] Apparently it works by making a covalent bond with the plastic of the grille. It does so by swapping ions over or summat so in effect the C4 actually becomes part of the grille itself, the reason I guess why it is so long-lasting compared with other products. [/geek]

I'll post some 50/50 photos up when it decides to arrive!
