Guys, I am picking up my new T5 estate later this week, and can't help noticing how grey the "black" trim is on the bumpers, tail gate etc. Any recommended methods of sorting it? Using back to black will get pretty old pretty fast! Thanks in anticipation Rob
use this stuff... a few coats, and it's black again, dries in about 15 mins, can do door handles as well... http://i42.tinypic.com/kb1sv9.jpg
Or a bit of Meguiars trim detailer - get's all the plastic, vinyl and rubber looking shiny again
Wurth plastic dye . Get it from a local garage or bodyshop as it's a trade only product. IMO the best there is. Pookie
Kiwi shoe polish stuff works a treat

Peanut butter, bloody marvellous stuff!
Use a paint stripper heat gun and you can watch the clour return slowly but be careful as you can melt the plastic and wreck your paint if your not very very careful. I have done it twice on my car and colour stays for about a year before needing doing again. I use back to black on it afterwards just as a protective coat and it looks very good..
