anyone got any pics of there arches with the autoglym bumper care on?

or an other decent product, as the stuff i use at the moment is a spray, its very greasy and picks up loads of dust/dirt even on the shortest of journeys after cleaning it...

I used Autoglym Bumper Black which is a spray, here's a pic of after I did it:



The front drivers side arch was white before I did it. Plus my work's car park is super dusty and it hasn't picked any of that up.

Just went on nicely and hasn't picked up any dirt and stuff as far as I can see. Doesn't feel greasy or anything either. I'd use it again, but when it next needs doing I might get it colour coded

Autoglym Bumper Care. Make sure the arches have been cleaned really well before hand to get a good bond as it will last much longer that way...

Careful with the heat gun, though, you don't want to warp them.
