Got some in my free Autocar kit. Is it any good on the black plastic of K03 GTi's?

I hate it. Have moved to Tire'n'Trim Jelly from Gliptone but have an ED30. On something like the standard MK5, I'd go for a sealant based one eg gtechniq.

I got it for free, but if it's no good, It's not worth the effort.
Any other opinions before I bin it?

If you have it, worth while using.
I applied mine with an old microfibre, then rubbed and buffed up
Kept the plastic looking very clean and healthy. My old pug306 plastics uses to grey very quickly, using this they looked minty fresh.

Mask off and use a heat gun instead if the plastics are faded. If you just want some gloss, it's ok, but there are better products.

It's not bad definitely worth giving a chance ! It doesn't last all that long and if any drips of water run down it before its dried properly can leave streaks once dry it will bead water.

It gives a great shine but also leaves the bumper wet and picks up dirt. You'll find that next time you wash your car it'll come off on the sponge/mitt.
I use Auto Finesse Revive. Goes on well with a satin finish which is more like OEM.
