Question Any suggestions?

Hi I'm brand new to the wonderful mini network - I was wondering if anyone could tell me what would be best to clean the black trim on my coop as it seems a bit dull

Hello and Welcome-Check out the many threads on this in the Exterior forum
I personally use Auto Glym Bumper Care-Very Shiny Also takes the White Wax marks off the car if you accidentally wax on the plastic

Personally, I use peanut oil to remove excess wax and then treat with Meguiar's Professional Mirror Glaze Vinyl and Rubber Cleaner and Protectant. Great stuff. I also use it on the dash and rubber gaskets. Excellent stuff.

Having given up on Auto-Glym cos the finish always looked patchy, I now use spray on "Back to Black" type stuff. Spray on and then wipe. Good for doing any grilles too.
Use a rubber/eraser first to get any polish/wax off the sills first.

Much cheaper than auto-glym and the finish is consistant, not patchy.
