Best Product for Plastic/Rubber Trim around Windows

kromix · 07-19-2011, 04:41 PM

So Two part question as I couldn't find the answer searching:

1) What do you guys use to give the plastic & rubber trims around the door/windows a nice solid black finish and to protect it?

2) how do you apply it exactly?

I purchased Meguiar's Trim protectant stuff, and it was a cream so it went on the paint and some in the windows when trying to apply, pain in the ass to apply, then it didn't go on evenly even after buffing excess out after a few mins....

Suggestions?

i use 303. i spray some on a mf towel and wipe it on. i do it before the windows get done since i always get some on the windows. whatever bit gets on the paint ill wipe off with another mf towel.

Swissvax Seal Feed for the rubber pieces, Swissvax Protecton for plastics.

If you want to restore the dark appearance I'd suggest the TUF SHINE Black Restore Kit or the Einszett 1Z Gummi Pflege Stift Rubber Care Stick. For regular UV protection and a dark finish the 303 Aerospace Protectant is one of my favorites and it's on sale through July.
