Cleaning new 30008

[Wheelchap]

I take great care cleaning my Amazonite Grey 3008. I use a soft brush with hose to remove the dirt from the lower black areas and wheels then wash the remaining paintwork with a soft hand mitt and car shampoo, the paintwork always looks lovely but the black trim underneath the doors and around the wheel arches always looks dirty. I have always used a proprietary named bumper care product on my previous car, which was a Honda, and the black always came up as new, but using the same product on the Peugeot it always dries out patchy and looks dirty. Can any member recommend a product with which they have had success.
I have had the car a year now and completely trouble free, like other members I love it

Always used Autoglym, put it on with a small bit of sponge, the bottle lasts forever as you only need a drop per pannel / arch. This is the stuff: https://www.autoglym.com/bumper-and-trim-gel you can pick it up cheaper from eBay etc. Good Luck!

Thanks for your reply Gazman, Yes, I have always found Autoglym to be a very good product which is the one I always used on my Honda, but I feel the plastic trim on the Peugeot is of a different nature and the dirt appears to penetrate deeper, I would be interested to know if others find it a problem.

I use the Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care on the black externals on my 2008 GT Line and find it very good.

Thanks Deccadick,
That may be worth a try. I am still a little confused as I looked up Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care and it states for internal use, then they show it being used on the outside rear of a car. I know these products only last for so long before re-treating; do you feel Vinyl & Rubber Care lasts a while on the exterior?

It seems to last well. I used Autoglym Aquawax last autumn on the paintwork and it still looks good. At the same time I used the Vinyl and Rubber Care. It needs doing now after a harsh winter and some 5 months has elapsed.
