Ram box touch up

[JJP71584]

My ram boxes were fading and I decided to touch them up using Kiwi shoe polish as suggested by another forum...pretty happy with the results

Nice but won't it run once it gets wet?

I have been using 303 protectant on mine.
It's like sunblock for plastic and rubber.
So far so good.
How old is your truck?

Go to auto parts store and get a couple cans of sem trim black rattle can. I use it to refurb plastic at dealerships and on my vehicles. Lasts years.

I don't think so but time will tell...the review that I read that gave me the idea stated that it has held up well and I would assume that includes against rain

That's what I did last month right after getting the truck. I normally use "Mothers Back To Black" on the trim, and it worked well to restore the cowl and my mirrors, but it couldn't salvage the ramboxes.

That sem trim looks factory and lasts. I use it often to restore Nissan xterra and older avalanches. Easy to do and great results. Plus it doesn't wash off.

I will be washing my truck in the next few days and I'll let you know how it holds up

I just used wipe new to be honest even coming out of the dealership it never looked as it does now and I used it last month

I used a product called pig spit. Really, that what its called.

My 2010 was the same as yours. Its been a month now sitting in the sun, and its perfect.

I couldn't believe it. I'll have to get some pictures. I bought a can of it from a local Harley dealership.

 

[JJP71584]

Washed it for the first time since I did it, held up great, definitely didn't fade so far

 

[JJP71584]

Just to follow up, they still haven't faded...Very happy!

Rambox faded lid has fiberglass-like splinters

2009 TRX with Rambox. Lids have faded and if you touch (or sit on) the black part, you will get slivers in your skin. Anybody else getting this? Any ideas for sealing? So far I've heard Krylon Fusion, Plasti-dip, semi-black trim rattle can (is that just spray paint for trim), and bed liner. I'm leaning toward the bed liner because it would seem to be more durable. Suggestions?
