For all those interested the stuff I use to clean up the black trim is the following. Not sure if you can still buy it or not since I've had the same bottle for about 5 years now! Black Trim Wax made by carplan. Brought from halfords.



Same as mine Looks like t-cut but does a good job only it washes off after a couple of wet days....

Yep it does wash off after a while but seems to help keep the trim from fading overtime. I guess you should keep apply it every few washes but i just leave it till I want the car looking really good for special events.

I do find it seems to remove the evidence that i've accidently waxed over onto the trim too over time Saves buying peanut oil! And much safer for me!

Soosh, don't tell people that. But you are right it does help get ride of any body wax/polish .

I've got friday off to clean mine for topgear! But sadly I have a 60mile round trip the day before too so might not look to clean by Saturday morning!
