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.

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.
