A week under snow did last year’s winner no favours. It’s still a great protectant, lasting right to the end, and you can apply the gel accurately and with minimal waste – although this can take longer than the sprays. Verdict Yes and no on this one if I can expand a bit..... Yes because I would like to see how it performs on a couple of different types of trim i.e. a smoother less textured trim and no because these days I personally favour a liquid type trim dressing which I find more exact application wise. The product arrives in a rather nice white PET bottle with the usual Autoglym branding on it which really cannot be mistaken for anything else.

From what I know the trims on a Mini are one of the hardest trims I have seen to get right and Autoglym Bumper and Trim gel did a bang up job of getting them looking sharp again so I really can't have too many complaints in that respect. The gel smells nice, is easy to use, easy to remove from paintwork and has lasted well over a week now and is still looking freshly applied. The gel does not contain colouring or dye so can be used to restore all unpainted plastics to their original colour. Use on external plastics, vinyl and rubber, including molded plastic bumpers, grilles, mirror cases, moldings, wheel arch trims, door handles, vinyl roofs, rubber bumpers, spoilers and mud flaps. As you know if you have worked on a Mini before the wheel arch and side skirt trims are a right pain to get looking good and more importantly staying looking good.The gel does not contain colouring or dye so can be used to restore all unpainted plastics to their original colour. So onto the product.... Bumper and trim dressings have been around for a while and whilst they are not one of the vital components when we clean our car they can make the difference between an average finish or a really good finish. You must have seen cars with washed out trim that is bleached by the sun and must agree that it really detracts from the look so a trim dressing is a really important part of our armoury. Not a lot between this and its Triplewax cousin. It’s another spray and leave product, and left a high gloss finish. Price is identical and both are top buys, but this was beading slower at the end. You can see by the little 50/50 shot below how much of a drastic effect on the trims the dressing had and you will also notice alot of high points where it had been over applied in places, definitely a difficult one to get perfect. data-src="https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/washford/haluk-car-cleaning-spot1-step3-process-winter21-1382x867"

The label contains all the pertinent information whilst the gel itself is clear and smells a bit like a Summer Pudding, as you know I am not very good a scents but it smells nice, fresh and berry like :thumb: Doesn't last particularly long. It is a product that is worth applying, curing and then protecting. impressions were how nice it felt to apply, very smooth indeed and also how little was needed to finish the section, it wasn't long at all before the whole arch was finished without recharging the applicator. product/helpAdviseTab.hbs -->
