I use bumper care from auto glym, looks ok but only lasts for a couple of weeks before it needs doing again. I have tried back to black but that's worse.

i have a wurth product i think is called plastic paint you put it on with a sponge i used it for my transit van bumpers that had gone light grey one coat of this stuff and they looked brand new lasted for over a year until i sold it, it doesnt streak and drys within minutes only thing i would say is use groves and mask the paint work or wipe of straight away they definatly do it in black and grey it is around the £20 mark and is enough to go round a transit all plastics including mirrors and still have some left
there is a wurth place in croydon nr ikea but sure could get online
i can get details if any one requires?
mark
will be doing my x5 before the winter (next few weeks then)
