Black Trim - Phase 2

[NufcMark 1 1 Cars]

Just bought my 1991 Phase 2 1.6, and more than happy with it. A nice polish with Autoglym HD Wax has brought the paint up really well, and in my experience lasts around 3 to 5 months, but I'm looking for a quality, long lasting bumper / plastic trim product that gives a good clean and doesn't fade again after a week. Any suggestions?

I always used Autoglym Bumper Care.

I would try this

I've got it on my mini, and although the front lower trim/splitter has become a bit faded, the sides seem to have stood up well a year later.

 

I wouldn't use it on Ph1/1.5 though.

 

Also worth reading up on whether or not a sealant is required over the top of it, but I don't think it does.

I've just ordered wurth black plastic dye... I'll let you know how I get on when it arrives

I haven't run out of Plasticare yet so I haven't tried it but I have high hopes for the Wurth product, the adverts for it often show it being applied to a 205 specifically so it *should* be perfect for our cars.

Exactly what I thought!

Thanks everyone - I'll check those out in more detail.

I might try this on my Mini's splitter, it seems to get good initial reviews, as always it's hard to find reviews for 1000 miles later.

My wurth dye arrived, applied a rushed single coat to one trim and I'm very impressed. My trims are grey and it's totally covered all imperfections and after a 2nd coat later I'm sure they will look 10/10

They all look good when they're put on, it's 3 months down the line that determines how good they are. Mind let us know ????

It'll be a fine weather car so may not be the best test for it, but of course I will update

[Daxed 7]

Any update after a year? 

[Gaz205 50]

Still perfect, no reapplication.

***washed monthly but not used in bad weather**

[Daxed 7]

Lovely, thanks for that. Your car looks great.

[Gaz205 50]

Thanks, I'd definitely recommend that dye
