   I used turtle wax 'back to black' its pretty good. Trim and tyres look lovely - nice little shine to them. Was about a fiver from Halfords.

    I know loads of people who have used it and as its a dye its a more permanent solution. I'm getting some for my 205's.

    I used "Tyre Shine" on all the plastic bits and bobs and mine and they came up a treat and that was a few weeks ago. No telling signs of it fading yet
    
    I think any silicon based stuff will do pretty much the same thing as back to black does

    Might be because that the meglairs endurnace one is a think long lasting one so doesnt run. I dont apply it thickly anyway

    Dodo juice supernatural gloss Trim Sealant seams to last agers, although its a bit pricy.
    
    Oh and Autosmart trim ulta (about £5 of ebay) is good stuff.
