    McKee's 37 makes top of the line products. Expensive but good products! I like his McKee's 37 Hydro Blue. Easiest way to wax a car/truck there is. :thumbsup:

    Make sure you tell them, "Liquid." Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax. I love it and I also use Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash as a drying aid after each wash and it keeps the Meguiars wax on the paint longer.

    That's really neat . Years ago I had a 94 GMC I waxed and got wax here and there on the black trim . It faded but was there for years . If I was the OP I would do this first .

    It works. Just takes a little more rubbing than the guy in the video. I got this sealant on my 2016 SR5 and it was a beach to rub off. Took me several sessions of rubbing with the eraser. Needless to say I do not use this stuff anymore. Good stuff though!

    First you must use 3M and tape off all areas and parts you don’t want wax or sealant on. If you have polish that’s adhering to the trim. This product is the best I’ve used it’s a Citrus degreaser, won’t harm paint.

    Tried some Dawn in lukewarm water with a bristle brush, but ended up using Bar Keepers Friend. Menzerna is good stuff, but a beotch to get off.
    Thanks for the tips!D8A05EE3-E293-4D7A-9F8F-07520698A7B6.jpg

    Damn never thought about Barkeepers Friend. I'll keep that in mind but I doubt I ever put anything on my truck that will stain plastic. LOL!

    Yes, especially the Genesis Elite model. The material is made by Haartz in Massachusetts. It’s the same material that is used worldwide by luxury car manufacturers for their convertible tops.

    Looks like it doesn't have a 'conditioner' in it like yours. It's just a cleaner.
