For the detailing pros what is the best way to keep the black plastic at the bottom of windshield from fading and drying out. #1 would be to keep it out of the sun. The truck is only 1 year old. I`m retired but I did put 10,000 miles on it the first year. It`s kept under cover at the house but when u go somewhere it`s not. Do they make a mat for it like they do for dashboards

I just treat it like other exterior plastic trim- clean with Griot`s Rubber Prep, seal with Ultima TGG+, maintain with D156/UQW. I`ve used the Klasse twins for such stuff before, but that was a lot more work.

The OUTSIDE cowling correct? My thoughts here is that a aerosol product is going to be your friend, due to how hard it is to apply product there. MOTHERS gets my vote for this area. Then just wipe up the overspray with a old mf towel soaked it water.

PA DETAILER- Heh heh, aerosols aren`t sufficiently Accumulator-proof for me, I`d get too much overspray all over. But yeah...doing my cowl pieces my way does take a while, and I don`t mean just an hour.
How long does the Mother`s you like last? Guys I know who use Back to Black seem to redo it all the time and look at me funny when I say how long the Ultima lasts for me.

Acculmulator, I still haven`t turned my back on Collinite 845 on plastic trim 
, especially since I`ve almost always got a bottle here for the DD`s
As long as it`s got some form of texture to the plastic as it is on my old blazer, semi protected like the cowl is I can usually get the season out of it there.
CG back to black (same as mothers???) or Adam$ In&Out (1/2 can left) for the under-the-hood stuff I can`t reach with OPT-tire gell / Adam$ SVRT on everything I can
