What do you all use to keep the exterior plastic trims looking good on your cars.I have tried meguiars and autoglym products and they only seem to last a week and then they go back to being grey and dull.

Thanks

Same here with Simoniz jet black whatever it's called. Looks great when applied and a week later like I never did anything to it. I have read somewhere one suggestion is to heat up the trim with a hair dryer first and then apply the products as it helps the plastic accept them or something.

Peanut butter (smooth) has also been recommended but again I found the time I used it it wore off, although probably not as quickly as the Simoniz stuff.

i use a little boiled linseed oil rubbed well in

it lasts for years

Its annoying to have to do every time i wash the car.:thumbdwn:

Get them colour coded. lol

i second that motion.......far easier to maintain!

You need to get yourself a bottle of this:thumbup:

Elite Car Care - Black WoW - Trim Cleaner/Dressing

Strange but on the black beast 51 plate the black stays black for ages...on my red 03 plate as soon as you wash it the trim goes grey ;-(

I have brought some Chemical Guys - New Look Trim Gel it looks very nice when its on,lets see how long it lasts.

some people have recommended a heat gun but i wouldn't recommend it. the idea been it heats the plastic and softens it and makes it look fresher like new.

i find with some products it ends up running and looking aweful, however i have found the simoniz silicon spray to be good for under the bonnet applications and a few coats works wonders.

as for trim id try the hair dryer and linseed oil. other ones is try getting some new trims and giving it some good applications over a few weeks but make sure theres no excess left on the trims.

I use Autoglem bumper gaurd or what ever its called. lasted ok on the Landy.

KlearKote Rubber and Vinyl dressing, best i've used

Colour coding sucks on the Octy vRS IMO
