New cars trump their predecessors when it comes to being environmentally friendly, says the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). A study by the organisation shows today’s motors are more efficient and less polluting, despite being heavier than their ancestors.
Faded black plastic...
Faded black plastic trim can spoil your carò€™s looks, so to freshen it up you need trim dressing like this Prolong Super Protectant.
Once we had washed and dried our test vehicle, we used the product on various areas, from the wing mirror housings to the rubber spoiler, mudflaps and window seals. The trigger spray was fine for large areas, but weò€™d apply to a cloth first if dealing with a small section.
Super Protectant was quickly absorbed by our spoiler, but was easy to spread around other less porous areas of plastic before drying ò€“ at which point you can buff off. Impressively, it beaded water away instantly, acting just like a thick wax coating. And even after three weeks it was still working.
The liquid was good at cleaning any marked trim, and it shifted old polish residue with minimum effort. But while it performs well and can be used on cabin trim, the high Ò£17.50 price counts against it.
