Has anyone found a product that actually revives plastic trim , around mirrors etc. that works. I’ve just purchased a Z4 and I don’t think the plastic has ever been treated so when you use any of the normal plastic trim solutions it just drys in and does nothing .
Any advice appreciated.

Hi, in my experience Gtechniq C4 gives a permanent black finnish. It’s expensive, but with a bottle you can easily do several cars.

I used Turtlewax Black in a flash gel and it worked a treat . Maybe took three coats to get it as good as new .
