Plastic trim care

[sevensix]

What product(s) are you owner's using to keep door handles, bumper panels, etc., to keep them looking like new? I used a popular tire treatment but after our first rain shower the black plastic parts took on a "weathered" appearance. Any ideas to help? Thanks.

Id like to know about the door handles myself, subbed.

I've had my truck for a year now and I've always used armor all on the black trim after I wash it. I know it's only a year but they look like they haven't aged a bit.

I use a mother's product called "back to black" works wicked on weathered exterior plastics. Or new ones to keep them looking new. I bought a used skidoo last winter. Red plastics were all faded and a few "white" spots from impacts. Back to black took out alot of the white spots and made the red plastic shine! Awesome product

Stoner Trim Shine or Megs Ultimate Protectant. Megs works best for me. I've tried back-to-black, 303, etc. It's one of the few Megs products I'm impressed with.

I have been impressed with the Adams SuperRVT.
It seems to last through multiple rain storms / washes.

The trim piece around the windshield on my '11 had already shrunk up about 1/2" so I made sure to treat my '13 right away.

I 2nd the Adams VRT. That's the only thing I use on my truck it keeps the trim and tires looking new and as a plus it repels water.

I was a detailer for years, and I haven't found anything like Zaino Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss. It is a polymer formula that is a wetlook but dry to the touch, not oily at all. They may have things nowadays that are similar, but when I was detailing this was it, very good stuff. Good for anything vinyl/ABS plastic or rubber. I just posted a pic of this too, this Bronco's trim was way past repair, faded and stained to hell, when it gets this bad you can paint it with duplicolor trim paint. That pic is after I painted it.

303 is nice...until it rains or until you wash it again. It washes right off, and streaks badly. Thus, I quit using it. I also didn't like the smell, so I quit using it on interior also.
