Keeping Trim looking new

C4 goes on thin. It comes with disposable applicators. i still have quite a bit left.

 

I mainly skip exterior dressing cause I don't always have the time that I want. Plus I am maintaining 3 vehicles that all live outside.

I uses 303 on interior some still. Just skip it on outside.

 

I really wanna try a trim coating, particularly for the wiper cowl. How do they hold up on all that rubber around the Windows? Does it hold up on that shiny non-porous rubber like that?

I hate to spend the $$ on a coating just for the wiper cowl. If it worked well around the Windows i'd prob give it a shot. But I don't know what else i'd use it on.

Bed rails get banged and bruised so much anyway, I really hate to waste a coating on them. It's just so easy to hit em frequently with a quick wipe down with the DG.

 

When I added Ditch lights, I had to remove cowl..so I plastidipped it. It's been a while now and looks great. Wife liked it so much asked me to do hers. Now we both don't have to clean our cowls

 

Like I mentioned earlier in this thread I apply Ultima Tire & Trim Guard (UTTG) on the rubber trim & hard plastics every 3 months. After every wash I hit my paint, plastic & rubber with Optimum Car Wax (OCW) which has excellent UVA/UVB protection. I believe this help the UTTG last longer plus the added UVA/UVB protection from the OCW helps prevent sun damage on the hard plastics. I also read the UVA/UVB protection from OCW will absorb into the clear coat over time.

 

I didn't try the rubber trim yet. Mine need a scrubbing bad before I coat. I used on the strips on the roof, front grill, bed rails, mud flaps, rear bumper trim, and the plastic around mirror.

 

This stuff is the bomb and can be used literally anywhere. Has UV protectant as well. https://www.protectall.com/shop/prtoectall-all-surface-care/
