Also, would you use this product on the trim of a new vehicle as a protectorant?

For new cars, you can certainly use it. Just be aware that with brand new plastic, there is usually some mold release agents and other oils and silicone that may still gas out. This may cause what looks like bubbling in the C4 coating. It does go away after a while though. I did the roof rack on my XTerra as well as the plastic bumpers. Started to see these bubbles within the first few days, but they went away after about a month or so. The hotter the environment the car is in, the quicker they will go away, if they even show up at all.

Of course cleaning and prepping the plastic with a good APC and then wiping the plastic with GTechniq Panel Wipe or a similar product will help negate this effect.
