I used two of the 15ml but have some left, so I think the 25ml bottle size will do an old school xc90 with more black on the doors (not painted like the newer ones)

I have used Autoglym Bumper Care to bring it back up and it does look really good. Just wondered if anyone uses something better / longer lasting ?

I have seen some restoration with a heat gun, but not sure how long it lasts for.

Just discovered it has a 6 CD changer.......every day brings something new !


I also use autoglym bumper care and it does a good job but like most others it does not last and if applied too thick it will mark your cloths if you brush against it as it does'nt seem too actually dry.

Turtle wax "ice" works a treat on the plastic trim on my V40 and it tends to last a good while too.
