Sorry if this is a repost of sorts.
For those who are having wear issues on the bolsters, I saw this on Detailing World and thought I'd post it. It's a product from Gliptone that appears to need layered application and heat curing, but it looks pretty good.

I just had a recon shop do this to a small spot on my outer driver's bolster and it looks as good as new.

Shake them out to just fill them up again? I say wait until its touching the back of your legs then maybe dump them out.

Go to the "projects and restorations" section. Some of these guys do "underbody details" that are staggering.
Or check out the 'ring Astra posts. It got something like 90 coats of Zaino before it really saw the roads.
