Ag bumper care, is the longest last and cheap..
Been doing some test of all these stuff. It lasts the longer and works well.

Re: recomend me a bumper gel

if they are really faded,strip the bumpers off and heat the black up with a heat gun slowly and the natural oils will restore the black,much better than dressing the bumpers every few weeks.

Second that. I've used it on really faded Corsa bumpers and arch trims. Brings them back up great and lasts too.

Same here. Not a particular fan of AG products but bumper care is top stuff!

That or smooth Peanut butter.

Yup, I use Auto Glym Bumper Care. Was recommended to me by a mate years ago and I've never used anything else since.

I use Nielsen super A sheen. Its a valeter trade product, by far the best bumper dressing iv used. And being a valeter iv used/tested a lot of them! Il give you some when you come for the wind deflectors Gordon.

I found that Megs lasted a bit longer than AG, but took a lot longer to apply
