Best cleaning products for outside trim

Want to smarten up my wheel arches and the back bumper trim etc

Any recommendations as to which is best product?

In the past on other cars I have just used what is in Halfords but never had good results either too shiny or streaks when it rains.

Want to clean off off all the crud first and then apply something to clean up and look fresh without hi shine. D4 HSE - Aintree Green
D4 Orkney my13 - gone
Stornaway D4. Gone, Didn't like it at all
D3 silver manual. Loved my first LR

I used Autoglym Bumper Care on my last Audi, and it worked very well. Would suggest using sparingly and rubbing in to get the best coverage

I really like the Meguiars trim restorer:

It's pretty good at getting rid of the white wax marks you get when you catch the wax applicator cloth/pad on the black trim!

i recently used Forever Black. not sure how easy it is to get in the UK. this stuff is an actual dye, so it is a bit messy. my black trim had turned gray. this stuff really made it look new without the temporary shiny appearance like products i had tried in the past. the D3 has gotten rained on twice and still looks great. hopefully, it will last a long time. Very Happy

I saw your photo in another thread cbboard - it looks very good Thumbs Up I see it also worked well on your wheels Whistle


As an aside, do you always use your shackle that way around? I mean with the pin through the recovery point? 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

Tried loads, always came back to Autoglym - seems to lasts long time, especially if you use Autoglym bodywork shampoo
