Product to use for revitalizing exterior plastic trims?

[J Mo]

hey all,

im not exactly sure what its called, but im talking about the plastic trim around the outside of the window on both doors of the EP

i think the same plastic extends to the base of the side mirrors, but anyhow, on with my question

my EP's trim is starting to fade, not too much, but i can tell that it is not as black as the trim on another car that has been garaged (my car is mostly parked outside since i got it)

sunlight is not really intense over here at the bay, but i do want to do something for the EP

so what product would you guys recommend/have used?

right now i know of Mother's Back to Black, and Forever Black, but i'd rather ask around first

I would say for the time being just use Aerospace 303 Protectant. I use a product called black wow. (which is totally awesome) but it doesnt agree with certain surfaces. and its 25.00 for about 4oz. Its awesome to have but I only use it on super bad stuff. Otherwise you can use aerospace. its sp40 and not greasy.

I have also had good luck with Optimum Tire Gel...apply with a foam brush, wait a few minutes to soak in and then buff off with a microfibre or terry cloth towel. Works great and leaves a nice dark black surface.

most of these type of dressings/cleaners are all the same, you can use them for rubber, plastic, vinyl, etc... For all my rubber and plastics all over my car i only use one product.
