Auto Glym Bumper and Trim Gel (2 Viewers)

[FrankNicklin]

Really impressed with the Auto Glym Bumper & Trim gel. Tried WD40, looked good for about 10 minutes. But this stuff was easy to apply and made such a difference.

 

[Lenny HB]

Olive oil works just as well.

Just keep putting on a layer at a time and after a few coats it’s lasts ages. Much better than most products out there.

That’s a single coat at the moment ran out of light to add more. Will do over the next few days.

Been using and raving about it for years, very satisfying and also looks great on the window surrounds and rubber mirror arms etc, I even do the wiper arms with it

Here’s mine after application

Yes did wiper arms, bulkhead plastic below the screen, window rubbers, door handles and locker handles and the rear grey trim. Very pleased with the result.

Well, sad to say that this treatment hasn't lasted long at all. Its faded again and badly streaked. I will apply another coat and buff again to see how it goes, but quite disappointed that its barely lasted 2 months before showing signs of fading again.

As an ex-professional detailer I have replied about this product many times. IT DOESNT LAST!!! it streaks and washes off.

Polytrol. Can be used on all plastics and restores back to any original colour. Very long lasting too.

I agree it does, to be honest after my original enthusiasm, it is crap and now looks bloody awful. Exactly as you say it streaks badly and washes off.

What do you recommend.

Polytrol lasts around a year. But once used it doesn't work great a second time.

Sounds more like a paint than a restorer then. Guessing it doesn’t adhere to previously coated surface.

It's weird stuff, seems to soak in first time and work well first time. Not so sure second time

Seem to be plenty of bad reviews about it Not working as expected. Maybe it’s just impossible to restore these materials. All options are just gimmicks.

Wondered how long it would take you to be disappointed..
As stated in other threads, i also thought this product was the bees knees, Until it was not and within a few weeks faded..

How these companies get away with selling these products is beyond me as they are clearly not fit for purpose.

Contrary to a few on here have found Autoglymm to work well , One thing i put it on liberally, and don't buff it off, it also pays to top it up time to time . Warning slippy when wet

Tried always. Applied liberally left to soak then buffed. Applied liberally and left it. On both occasions the slightest sign of moisture and it runs off. It doesn’t soak in as I expected and seems to sit on the surface hence why it washes off.

If, as in my case, it looked crap after less than 2 months then recoating in this timescale in order to maintain the appearance it is clearly not a good product.

When i feel like doing it again due to it starting to fade . I don't apply after washing needs to be a dry warm day so not a winter time task . Works better on black than grey . Maybe I am not as "fussy" as some , (meant in the nicest possible way )

Well you have sorted have admitted you are already using it on a black surface so the fading is likely minimal compared to trying to restore a faded to grey bumper. As I mentioned initially it looked great, but the disappointment quickly set in after a few months. I’ve re coated but the streaks are still visible underneath. I used it the first time in late summer and it was very warm so dried quickly. There was no moisture on it for at least a couple of weeks.

 

[FrankNicklin]

This is after a second coat, applied in dry weather I hasten to add, taken this morning.

 

[Maggie and Raddie]

Have tried most of them, and this is the best (Not Cheap)
