Any recommendations for a product to clean and maintain the black vinyl bumpers / wheel arches etc...?
Thanks all.

I'm told peanut butter works well. The smooth type.
Never tried it myself but my brother who works in a body shop swears it works.

Thanks chaps...
Went for the Turtle Wax Black in a Flash wax mainly because I stopped in Halfords, they had it, and it was cheap...!
Only meant to try a spot but ended up doing the whole car I was that impressed...!
Seems to penetrate well and gives that new black vinyl look, it even works well on the door trim, wipers, and A pillars.
will have to see what it's longevity is like now...
Just need to thaw out now it's -2℃ and windy up here...  Allan
