Default Black detailing polish

Can anyone recommend a good black detailing polish that lasts more than a few weeks?, I have been using Maguire's for the past couple of years but even this fades quickly, especially on the door finishers, any help or recommendation much appreciated

Autoglym bumper & trim gel is pretty good and lasts reasonably well.

I also use Gyeon Q2 from time to time which is also very effective - especially if you take time to apply it properly. It's actually a tyre dressing, but also does a great job on other areas (including those pesky door trims) and the small bottle seems to last forever.

+1 for Autoglym. Apply sparingly, buff off and it seems to last well.
