Flic...I haven't touched my diamondbrite stuff since I had it done. To be honest I'm not that impressed by it and wouldn't have it done again.

Like you say, I felt it just wasn't enough so I've gone for Autoglym stuff now and polish it every now and again (not too much though!) I'm not sure about the waxing but I wouldn't have diamondbrite again...I think it's a rip off :-( a rip-off which i paid for unfortunately!

    yes people do use tyre dressing but i use tyre dressing that makes it look like a tyre not like a black rubber ring in the med.

    the car garages will use silicone tyre dressing which will come off in a matter of hours

    Never used tyre dressing, its always wet down in Wales so they look good most of the time :P

    I heard that vegatable oil is good for restoring faded plastic trims so i thought id give it a bash. Rubbed it on and now the trim looks darker and better than it ever has lol :)
