Maintenance for faded exterior plastic and rubber (Bumper & Trim Gel by AUTOGLYM)

Autoglym in the UK is certified as a royal warrant, which is rare for car care products. The world-wide famous product called "Super Resin Polish" is a silicon-based liquid car wax. The main ingredient is silicon, but it is good workability (hard to become uneven, easy to wipe even under the scorching sun), and I hear that there are many regular users from professionals to amateurs all over the world.

One of the distinctive features of autoglym simply because it uses a different fragrance for each product.


Autoglym has a chemical product dedicated to exterior plastic and rubber parts, which is the "BUMPER & TRIM GEL" introduced this time.

The unpainted black plastic such as the cowl top panel under the front wiper arm and the door mirror base is exposed to direct sunlight, and it gradually fades white before you notice it

The progress of deterioration depends on the material of the plastic, but it is important to take care to protect the surface before it becomes rough.

It is a liquid such as transparent silicon oil itself, but it is easy to extend and can be constructed in a small amount. The natural finish that does not impair the texture of the base is attractive. Unlike long-lasting products, construction is necessary once a month, but it will be fun to care for your car.

It can also be applied to plastic and rubber parts in the engine room exposed to high temperatures.

Of course, it is also for the unpainted plastic bumper.

As is the case with chemical products in general, there is no significant difference in the main components of similar products such as wax and oil. The most important thing is how to process and devise the material to make it a product, and even if you simply apply the silicon oil of the raw material because it is cheap, it does not become the texture of the bumper & trim gel.
