2015 Honda Accord Window Trim

[Celticsfan]

I`m just curious to see how people treat the matte black door sill panels on the 9th gen Accords. I washed mine today with ONR and dried with a drying towel and PFM. Car looked great then I get to work and noticed the spotting on the panels. Any suggestions what to use on them ?

I have a 14 and haven`t found the perfect solution for this. Hope somebody has one!

Gyeon trim or kamakaze myabi works great. You can wax them also, I have used Griot`s poly wax with excellent results.

Interesting i do have some paste wax I could try, Bf Midnight Sun and Pinnacle Series II, what about getting rid of the spotting ? I do have some Gyeon Spot remover.

I have the same issue on my 2014. I am going to see if hyper polish will clean them up. According to OPT it will not stain trim

Anyone have any luck ? Was going to try a bit of essence or possibly another light polish like Mez 3800 or their 3in1 just don’t want to make it worse if it doesn’t work for others.

Let us know! Still bugs me on mine

Have y`all tried HyperPolish? It has been recommended several times on here.

Try Meguiar`s D156 xpress spray wax. I`ve had good luck with D156 on similar trim on my 2006 Sienna.

Noting that I haven`t owned a Honda since the `80s....

On my vehicles I clean such surfaces, until they`re genuinely *spotlessly clean and bare*, usually with Griot`s Rubber Prep. Then I treat them with Ultima TTG+. Maintain with D156/UQW or something similar.

I used to use KAIO + 845, and that worked OK too.

If they`re too nasty for just the Griot`s Rubber Prep, I use a mild compound that doesn`t leave white staining (as long as it`s buffed off before it flashes), mnamely Hi-Temp Fast Cut Leveler/"357", which seldom requires a follow-up (just go straight to the Rubber Prep).

And BTW, heh heh, yeah..I know they`re not rubber. Try the Rubber Prep anyhow.

Looks like there’s many different approaches, going to clean with some spray on car wash and maybe try one of the polishes I have like Mez 3800 or their 3 in 1 on a white pad. There usually clean per day just the uneven finish/spots irks me. Hopefully I can try it this week.

I’ll also look into the rubber prep as well.

Celticsfan- I`ve never used that Menzerna product, but the ones I have used had *WAY* too many oils for me (when it comes to this application). Be sure to a) break the product down and especially 2) get *ALL* the polishing oils of/out of the plastic, otherwise it`ll be a real mess after they dissipate, which is often much later after you`ve thought all was well.

Don`t mean to scare you off the idea, but I dunno...

These piano black plastic pieces are getting more and more common. They look great new, but scratch and stain so easily, I won`t be sad to see this design idea go the way of the dodo bird.

[MattPersman]

Accords don’t have piano black. It’s more of a matte textured black trim piece.
