Speak with Baz, he'll set you right.

I've used Autoglym bumper restore on my door handles before and yours would really benefit from this. It doesn't last very long but for a month or two it looks fantastic.

The main reason I buy it is it smells so gooood.....

I've always found back to black to be very good. But it's neglegable really isn't it, they all do pretty much the same thing and it would take a pretty keen eye to spot the difference between them surely?
