Auto Glym Bumper Care Is No More.
The makers of Auto Glym Bumper Care ( the one in the white bottle with the green label ) have, it appears changed the product.
It's now called Auto Glym Bumper and Trim Gel and is a totally different product.
It does say on the bottle "Improved Formulation"and as before it was a gloopy green liquid, it is now a clear snot that smells totally different to the original.
No idea if it's any good yet but have just done a trial on Mrs Narpys car to see if it lasts.
Early indications are, it does the job it was bought for i.e. turns the black bits black but I'll know soon what it's longevity is like.
Shame really, Auto Glym was always my fail safe when all the others that get recommended turn out to be sh@ and just can't compete.

Let's hope it still lives up to its claims. I use the 'old' version also.

I tend to use Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer.
Lasts a lot longer than any gel or creme I've tried and the small sample pot apparently will do the full body of 2 cars you only need a minuscule amount, the results speak for themselves.
That has been on for 3 weeks and been washed twice, with a citrus pre wash and still looking good and beading

It brought all the trims back apart from the scuttle trim but then that is beyond repair.
A good scrub with citrus wash and a wipe with IPA or panel wipe, I used a microfibre to apply the leave to cure and buff up
