haven't used that. Best I've used is GTECHNIQ C4. It's quite expensive but goes a long way.

Again not seen or heard of the one in your post but I've just used Maguire's ultimate black.
Seems to cover well and after 4 weeks is still nice and black and repelling water , beading on surface. Stan

External plastic with sun fade use a heat gun to revive it, just take care while doing it.I have seen videos of people using a blow torch to achieve the same result.

Heat guns (used carefully!) will also revive the shape of thermoplastics due to the memory effect. It doesn't work on thermosetting plastics as they tend to be more brittle.

I use Autoglym Bumper Care. Good for round the black part of the rear view mirrors and the black panels on the edge of the doors.
