This is the best I've yet to use for the black plastic (exterior) trim:

AutoGlym bumper care.

Frostdog · Sep 4th, 2007, 12:11 AM

nice one thanks

85NIXMIN · Sep 4th, 2007, 02:26 AM

I'm gonna go see if I can pick up a bottle of that stuff!

Japper · Sep 4th, 2007, 06:07 AM

Maybe a little more expensive but Polished Bliss used Zymol Carbon Wax on all my external plastic trim when they did my new car detail. The result is a nice satin finish just like stock but when it rains the water just beads and sheets off super quick. Highly recommended.

Frostdog · Sep 5th, 2007, 12:06 AM

thanks ill bear it in mind

That's what I use. It comes up really well, but it doesn't get rid of wax on the plastic. As soon as the rain washes the bumper care stuff off, they're white again. A friend of mine was using Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care last week on the plastic and it looked like it took wax right off the plastic, so I guess this followed by Bumper Care is probably the way to go, if you can be bothered.

i use Autoglym Bumper Care on my black trim and it removed all the polish i had on them and they're really black now.

Great stuff

S33BBY · Sep 6th, 2007, 10:46 PM

It doesn't remove it; it looks like it has but when the Bumper Care eventually washes off you'll see that the plastic is still stained.

Andy P · Sep 7th, 2007, 08:27 AM

Autoglym Fastglass takes off the wax marks then use the bumper care after - but I have heard that peanut butter is the best for removing wax marks on plastic

minicabrio · Sep 7th, 2007, 09:37 AM

The best stuff I have actually found is the Genuine MINI Stuff that comes in the little spray bottle....

housefm · Sep 19th, 2007, 07:21 PM

Here is a pic of mine just washed also just fitted the r90 replicas on the same day

uncle albert · Sep 21st, 2007, 07:31 AM

Didn't have enough time to do everything I wanted yesterday, but still managed to wash, clay, polish and wax, ready for hibernation this weekend.

Like a mirror!

You can just about see the metallic flecks in this one.

Posing shot.
