Treating Plasitc Exterior Cladding

[landshark]

Looking for suggestions for products or methods to treat exterior plastic cladding. I`ve got a 2011 Subaru Outback. I just usually wash these parts with regular shampoo, but after about a year, it looks like they need a little something like an LSP. I know a wax is not likely to produce the desired results. I`m not looking for shine...I`d prefer to keep the finish the factory matte appearance, but would like some protection. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I would take a look here: Trim & Molding Care

Ultima trim and tire gaurd is one of the best trim products in my opinion. Is darkens trim slightly and last a very long time. It also doesn`t run in the rain.

Optimum Opti-bond diluted 1:1 with water works great as a tire dressing and for exterior plastics. Its more on the matte side of a finish but gives plastics and nice like new finish. Its forever in my arsenal. Also whatever size you buy once cut with water 1:1 you will have double the product.

Here are a few choices that work well:
1Z Einszett Vinyl-Rubber Care and Protectant
BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal Paint Sealant
Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant

Everyone has slightly different preference, so read the descriptions and pick out one that peaks your interest. There are a lot of good products out there; you will find that proper preparation and application often make all the difference.
