I kept my 2016 Ram pretty clean but one day when I said to myself, "Hey how is the trim all around doing?" When I looked the window trim was really gray So where ever I found gray I "Forever Black" dyed the trim. But what probably really need to happen is keep the trim moist enough that it does not dry out.

Do Ram owners occasionally apply a product to keep the rim moist not just make it more black. Pretty sure some "make it shine products" may dry out trim too.

I just know I plan to keep a eye on this 2020 Ram Big Horn trim.

I am probably going to just rub a little silicone once and awhile. But if there is something everyone likes i would like to know.

Thanks.

I use 303 on everything inside an out both truck and camper. It's also safe for tires since it doesn't contain any petroleum products. No residue like other types of detailing products. I typically buy on Amazon

I been using both of these products on all of my black trim and it all still looks brand new...two to three times a year at most.

CarPro Reload & Optimum Opti-Seal....both are non-staining sealants that are wipe on and buff off. The Opti-Seal supposedly flashes off and disappears but I like to give it a wipe to level it off anyway.

My quest is a one-in-all sealer for everything.
I've tried all those and the only thing that I've found (so far) that can be used on everything and last for 3-4 months is Topcoat f-11, as long as you wash with plain water only afterwards.
With that being said, I just purchased some Andy's (for all finishes & trim) ceramic sealer with Graphene that makes the same claim, but haven't used it yet, it's a lot cheaper so I hope I get the same results?

I have been using Chemical guys hyper coat, but it doesn't last more than two weeks. Especially if it gets wet. I need to order so 303.

I have Meguires Hyper Dressing. It did a great job on the Linex bed.

But mentions nothing about UV protection. So not sure, so i bought some 303. Going to use it for now.
