Autoglym bumper gell does a good job.

Ill second the autoglym stuff, i use it on sidestrips, front soiler, number plate surround, kick plates and door rubbers and its good stuff.

 

Does a decent job on engine hoses also.

Had a go with 1200 wet & dry, seems to have taken the "oxidsing" off on the patch I tested... Will wait for the rain to bugger off before having a go with some back to black on that area..

i thought about painting all my exterior plastic in matt black, would they look odd you think?

3corsameal, would probably like good actually, if they did start getting knocked though the paint might chip or scratch.
