Well the black metal trim is usually a flat black paint then I`ll use a sealant or wax on it. The plastic and rubber trims I usually use a vinyl & rubber trim protectant.

i used some TW Ice once on all the trim a few weeks ago. i imagine its washed off since then. it was all i had lying around



next time i wash ill do the metal with some sealant. Do i need to polish first?



i need some interior products anyway so that works out on the plastic. ill prb grab some Poorboys Nat. Dressing , since im having good luck with their stuff so far i guess ill stick with them.

I even use LSPs on the plastic stuff. If it`s textured I generally employ the W-O-W-O method as it seems to result in a more uniform finish. Two products that work especially well for this are KSG and Collinite 845.



I even use Souveran on the Jag`s black exterior *rubber* trim and I used to use Malm`s liquid wax on it. And believe it or not, Collinite 476S paste wax worked well on the Volvo 240 wagon`s rubber trim :eek:
