they were grey upto the revision in around 2000, these can fade badly (use a heat gun)
black uns were after
 
go carefull though, i did it to mine and it fetched em up new, just enough to melt the surface slightly.
 
some people use boiled linseed oil

And some folks use Peanut Butter - they advise to use the smooth kind rather than the crunchy type - but they omitted to say whether the one with the red jelly is any good. :eek: :rolleyes:

But my vote goes to ...............................................








............................................. Autoglym Bumper & Trim Gel.


Singvogel. :cool2:
 
Autoglym Bumper & Trim Gel.

Gets my vote too forget the old wives tales tricks and try it you won't go back to anything else after using this stuff.
 
heat gun = free (apart from the leccy)

autoglym = £7.50 per 325ml tube (how many to do the whole job?)


no-brainer :)
 
Carplan trim and bumper shine. Turns the grey to a lovely black, lasts for around 5 - 6 months, and a good deal less intrusive than a heat gun, in my opinion. But you pays your money.............. ;)
 
intrusive if not used carefully ;)

heat gun was used, by me, on mine 18 months ago and it still looks as new.

This is the thing, Freelaner. With any propriety bumper polish / shine / wax, you can't really go wrong. What you're talking about requires a steady, progressive technique, which undoubtedly gives good results. But imagine the scenario,
"Ooh, just a little more heat on there........ oh f#@k!!" One wrecked bumper. D'oh!
