I spend all day polishing, glazing and waxing the X5 and it looks like a new car again, well impressed with how it turned out
Big thanks for this tip, I couldn't find my heat gun so used the wife's hairdryer ::), it made no difference at all, so I nipped into work to borrow the heat gun and all I can say is fantastic, its like new again, even done the sisters white/grey bumpers on her corsa and they came up like new again aswell
so easy to do and well worth the effort
Big thanks for this tip

Thanks - I might try this myself though might improvise with a d.i.y. foil covered shield of sorts to reduce risk of blistering clearcoat & paint.
