or similar.
The stuff I had has just run out so I need to get some more: any recommendations?
Also, what do you use on the black plastic trim on the doors and bumpers?
What about on the rubber round the windows and that the doors seal against?
I hate it when they (tyres/trim/rubber) look grey.

tyre lacquer, brings back that nice showroom fresh tyre shine, as for the door seals a small amount of vaseline rubbed in vigourosly.

the one that lasts a very short time. What we need is an engineers view on the rear brakes, and a precise cause of the problem. And perhaps a cure or replacement product that will get it working right.
