Bumper Care
« on: February 24, 2014, 06:52:39 pm »
Looking to get something for my lower back plastic bumper and side skirts. Looked at Autoglym Bumper Care and Chemical Guys - New Look Trim Gel. Just wondering what people are using, or any other recommendations?

Thanks

I use Autosmart Trim Wizard and I think its fantastic. Lovely finish and it lasts ages.

Having used AG Bumper Care aswell, Autosmart Trim Wizard is in a different class in terms of longevity and durabilty.

I'm sure there are plenty of good reviews on Detailing World for Trim Wizard and equivalents.

Car pro DLUX, as long as the surface is prepped properly beforehand, cant beat the stuff!

Yup but can be fiddly to apply sometimes, especially on older plastics it can take several coats to achieve an even finish, and needs ideally 8-12 hours dry time.
