Im after getting the shine back into the arches on my Mini Cooper, most of it seems fine, but they seem to be speckling just around the edges!!
Ive tried:
Autoglym Bumper Care
Back to Black
Is there anything you would recommend better than these, as I dont really fancy the heat gun routine, sounds too much like hard work to me, and I aint buying a heat gun, just to do that, lol!!
Cheers
