A much cheaper trim solution is this Cherry Blossom Black shoe Restorer
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cherry-Blo...item27f793ed65
its a bit laborious to put on as you need two coasts but it lasts for ages - I used it on my Korando and my Freelander with good results
Very tempted to get some C4 for my XC70 though
I used the C4 over 12 months ago and it still looks as good as the first day I put it on. I also use there tyre dresser and alloy wheel coating products.
I just looked at the shoe polish link you put up, lol, are people really sad enough to have sell secondhand shoe polish, " only used once " !!!!!!!!!

Just ordered more C4, the product lasted almost 2 years! Very good stuff and really easy to use.
Thanks

My Plasticare black has now lasted nearly 6 months, turned badly faded white/light grey bumpers back to original colour, although does require careful application as mentioned here.
Did you get any streaking with it? I've seen a few of these types of products badly applied. The C4 is very easy to use.
Thanks

Another thumbs up for C4 here, great product.
I only used it on one car (MK3 Golf GTi) but boy did it do a good job!
98 V70 AWD - Long Term Companion. Loads of little changes, the Volvo with a twist.
96 850 R Estate - Pink Pus, project pulled from the weeds!
Oh, plus a glorious (but dead) 01 Alfa 166 V6 and a 05 Liquid Yellow Clio 182.
The alloy wheel product is even better, I Did it the same time as the C4 and it was still beading up until last month when the garage messed up my alloys so they needed refurbished. I will be going to polished bliss to buy from the gyeon range these products look mad so want to give it a go on the paint and wheels this summer when it gets its detail.
Thanks
Martyn
Not great pic but, before and after Plasticare (one coat plus a few days of rain) went on to apply second a couple of weeks later which has given a lasting even colour, but haven't got a picture:
