Internal-Meguiars Interior trim detailer, Red spray bottle. Works best if applied onto the applicator pad first.

External- Meguiars Gold Class trim detailer, small black bottle. Applied as above.

Both leave a good none sticky fairly matt finish. On badly faded rubber the exterior may look a bit patchy as the oils are soaked up. You can apply further coats to blend it in.

Apply sparingly a little goes a long way.

Black in a Flash! £1.85 at asda.Great stuff for black bumpers ,mirror backs,dashboards etc.Did the plastic floormats in my old volvo and they came up like brand new but my mother in law slipped as she was getting in and fell into the seat in a rather undignified way so im not allowed to do them anymore!!

I have used autoglym and megs - megs is best on trim for sure. It lasts longer in my opinion and the finish seems more uniform.

The only AG product I use is the Bumper Care (Green Label). Used it for years and it still brings the black trim up a treat

Highly recommended

I'm not impressed with the Autoglym interior plastics treatment - I use TurtleWax Platinum spray. On the outside I recommend Mothers Naturally Black which I got from one of the car cleaning sites Tipec get a discount from.
