Simple question really. Does anyone make it? Or do I just assume it's a consumable and replace every 8 to 10 years? I know there are various ways people claim they can remove the oxidation with heat, baby oil, polish etc. but life is to short for that sort of carry-on.

There may be a UV protector you could apply but if the german snake oil i bought for my red Celica is anything to go by i wouldnt bother, Just replace when needed.

Hunter used to be one of the best, but they all seem to chalk out after a few years now.

We have brown plastic guttering, 32 years on it's still brown and believe me no expense spent on my housewhen it was built.

We've got regular floplast brown stuff. No sign of it turning white and it looks like it's been on for 30-odd years.
