I read in a manual of Kia Magentis about using this effect a silicon fat. I didn't try as yet.

I've been using Black wow, its a bit pricey but you need such a small amount to cover a big area and does last fairly well.

Just switched to Dodo juice trim sealant, haven't used it yet, but heard good things about it.

Another option is Chemical guys Bare bones, although its really for underneath the car and arches etc. it seemed to work well on the plastic trim too.

I use Autoglym Bumper Care, it works a treat and you only use a little of the £7 bottle so it should last a long time Thumbs Up
