#16 or Aquawax for ext. plastic trim?

[gofastman]

I have both, which one would last longer, its dark grey if that matters

#16 should last longer. Aquawax is a spray sealant, and you should use it over the Megs #16.

I don`t think #16 on trim is a good idea. AW doesn`t stain trim.

I have only recently popped open my can of #16 which has gone unused for maybe...20 years? But on my RSX it was fine on the textured black trim.

I`ve *generally* been successful using #16 on trim but only when I employed a semi-W-O-W-O approach. Leaving excess wax *can* cause white staining (not as bad as with many other LSPs, but still...) and some trim simply stained, period. I dunno...there are better choices for use on trim IMO, much as I like #16.



If you want to try it, pick an inconspicuous test area and be careful to *NOT* apply too much. Really work it in and then immediately buff it off.



Besides the AW (which I`ve yet to try), Collinite 845 comes to mind, and their 476S stains less frequently than #16 (I even used the latter on the black plastic and rubber trim of the Volvo wagon I used to have).

Nobody uses 303? I know it probably doesn`t last as long but sure looks nice on plastic trim..
