Can't remember in which thread I saw someone mention the 'black trim around the car' that gets a bit used looking. I have tried many things over time to keep mine looking great but recently used Meguiars trim restorer. It really did a great job and has transformed the look of the car. Thought you guys may like to take a look. It takes a few coats of the stuff but has weathered pretty well and isn't a 'paint' so doesn't degrade the plastic or cheapen the look. Just gives the car a showroom look.

Quite a difference!

That looks great,Safranes seem to suffer from the trims almost turning white after years of sun and dirt etc,but when treated and given a good coating of trim cleaner it transforms them,i use an autosmart product from the valeters at work,my own collection of valeting items is mostly Autoglym which i,ve used for years,i know theres plenty of cleaning products out there and the choice is huge,its just finding something you are happy with and works.

looks pretty good.

Mt front bumper has white speckles on it and I can't get rid of them. Its the plastic fading, even the old blowtorch method doesn't get it black again.

That looks mint! I may look into this as the black bumper trims on the safleet* are all knackered looking. Oddly those on the door never fade but the bumpers always do. Very strange..
