Polish - Paint conditioner

Hi, I have an 85 GSL-SE - 85k miles - garage kept Sunday driver. All original paint in excellent condition. I have noticed small cracks starting to appear in the painted bumper covers. Does anyone have a polish or paint conditioner suggestion which may help slow the cracking and drying?

thanks.

Take off the oxidation by using McGuire's Cleaner Wax (great stuff).

Then get a high quality wax on there to help preserve it. You'll get several opinions on what's best....

cracks or scratches. If scratches then a simple polish can get rid of it.. even by hand then wax but if cracks which i'm guessing they look like spider webs or earth quake cracks then ur screwed. U need to get it sanded it down to the original plastic surface and repainted. It should spread later on down the road.
