    I have tried all of the stuff and it all washes off. The best is to take em off the car and spray with stin black paint from supercheep auto. 2.50 a can. Looks like virgin plastic when you have finished!

    I read that Kiwi Express shoe polish works really well, apparently it doesn't run or wash off, so I went and bought some at the supermarket for about $4.00. It seems to work, but applying it is hard with the sponge, I'm wondering if you can get it in liquid form and rub it on with a cloth.. Anyway the one I bought looks like this:

    I have also used the shoe polish stuff and it seems to work and stay on.

    Painting them black or putting shoe polish is a bit dodgy in terms of proper detailing. I always use Autoglym Bumper Care. It conditions the plastic and needs to be re-applied every few months.
