@corkie I used auto glym bumper and trim gel which worked great even used it on the soil stack at home that looked washed out but brought it up great but to keep it looking good you have to keep doing it

Just watch if you use fallout remover or any tar removal solvent like Tardis...I learnt the hard way and had to redo them.
