IMHO the best I've used is Autoglym Bumper Care. But maybe someone else has tested something better!

I like Mer bumper gel.

olive oil or peanut oil last very well!

We did some tests on my mates Golf and the Olive oil outlasted the Autoglym.

heat it up and make the plastic 'bleed' first of all. Hot pressure washer or a hair dryer.

Reckon you may have the latter!
