Auto Glym Bumper care.

Plastic bumpers and trim can suffer the ravages of time and harsh driving conditions just as much as your paintwork. Autoglym Bumper Care cleans and revives colour, restoring ageing trim to its original finish.

It continues to protect the surface by forming a tough, translucent, flexible, waterproof barrier against atmospheric pollution.

Use on all colours of exterior plastic and rubber components, including bumpers, fenders, grilles, mirror casings, mouldings, trim, tyre walls, vinyl roofs, spoilers and mudflaps.


Just give it a good clean before hand, then apply sparingly with a sponge.

Auto glym bumper care made my roof look a right state, the vinyl and rubber care works better IMO

Then you applied it wrong.

Autoglym push this over the Vinyl and rubber care for vinyl roofs.

NB: the woven looking roof is infact a solid sheet of textured vinyl. It doesn't actually need waterproofing (eg with Fabsil).

However, if you clean it thoroughly and then apply some sort of dressing product, the water will bead up and run off better, rather than lying in the texture and/or seams. This in turn may prevent it growing lichen / moss.

If you want to talk about waterproofing and leaks, we'll start with my Land Rover 110 - now there's a leaky soft top!
