Need a little product help. Grained black trim/wax ?

A spray wax like Duragloss/Aquawax or a WOWA product like Optiseal or Ultima Paint Guard Plus would be a good move, since any overspray from those products are very trim friendly. About all you need for a new car anyway, for now.



Used the Ultima Tire and Trim Guard on a 2005 Ford last week, washed off- 1st rain.



I would use a very gentle water based product, 303 etc., on my trim while it is new.



Further down the road you may need a "restoring" type of product.



C4 will be my next trim product. So far I have not been satisfied with any.

Silk- Why would allowing the plastic panels to become damaged in the first place be advisable? Since the trim on most new cars are already in the beginning stages of fade why not just start with the restoration product to begin with. Check out the video I posted earlier on this post. The same question I ask all my clients, if I can make your old trim new....then why not start your new trim with this polish so it never has to become old? I'm a firm believer in being proavtive, when you have the knowledge.
 
You will be amazed with C4. Super easy and will not wash off or fade up to 30k miles.

I don't see where I advised the poster to let his trim become damaged, just because I didn't tell him to use C4 immediately.



Since I have not used C4 myself yet, I also could not advise someone to use a product I have not yet tried myself.
 
Silk- I cannot speak on the merits of the C4 product but the Acrylic-Werks I have been using for 14 yrs has kept the trim on my and my customers vehicles in absolute new condition. The Mustang photos I posted were a restoration process as was the BMW "B" Pillar video. My 2006 Black Dodge Grand Caravan SXT sits outside 24/7 in Suffolk, Va., the trim and rubber are nicer today than when I took delivery. That includes the luggage rack. Will get some photos and post and the odometer has 93K.
