I dont like this product. It leaves a glossy finish, and it attracts dust.



i want something that will give me a flat finish with no dust attraction. UV protection would be good also.
 
I'll second that. If you are using it strictly on trim/ plastic engine parts, a water based product like 303 is good but it will wash off and potential leave a trail on the paint. For exterior use, Trimonex's Trim-A-Shield sounds like an interesting, more permanent, coating type product but I'm unaware of anyone who has used it.
 
I honestly am of the belief that Trim Shine is a re-labeled can of More Shine Less Time Tire Dressing. I like either one for tires, though they don't always last long.
 
I think I was told from a rep at Stoners that they ARE the same. I've used them both, and while I agree that they don't last too long at times, the convenience of using them is unmatched!
 
Is the Trim Shine can still a little smaller than the MSLT? Or do they both come in equal sizes now?
 
I guess I'm in the minority of those that like Trim Shine. :nixweiss



I alternate between AA and Trim Shine for my lower panels on my G35. It's easy on, and lasts awhile for me. If it gets a little too much, simple buffing with a rag mf works for me.



I was able to nab 2 or 3 cans from Autozone for $1 a piece so that made me pretty happy.
 
I like Trim Shine for wheel wells. Just spray and walk away. No need to buff. It seems to dry fast. Most of the others I have tried don't dry they need buffing.
 
There is also a Trim Shine bulk product that is definitely different chemically, but the look is the same so you still wouldn't like it.



The best flat-looking product I've found is the new Meguiar's Interior Quick Detailer, an OTC product that for $5 looks like you sprayed the original interior back into the car. For me, it has made 7 other cans and bottles of interior protectants (including 3 other Meguiar's products) immediately obsolete.

You don't like it? Send them to me, I'll pay for shipping.



Just wipe the excess after a few minutes for a mate finish.



Send them to me.
 
I've used the Tropicare non silicon dressing on my black plastic cowl and its lasted 4 weeks outside 24/7. Priced comparable to Poorboys i believe
 
If it's similar to 303 and other water based dressings, it will wash off and may leave streaks on the paint if rained upon.
 
Wow....



I LOVE trimshine.... I use it on the MINI, and it's by far the best product on trim i've ever tried....



I think you're applying it wrong...



I mean really... The trim is right next to your paint... Why are you just spraying it on?? Don't you worry about overspray? See little specs on your paint? I'd imagine a good 4 inches around the trim would be covered in overspray from the trimshine if you did it that way... Not to mention it'd look all runny and splotchy...



Get a rag, spray the rag, wipe onto trim... Easy as that. The look is perfect. Matte, Clean, brand new.



It lasts fairly well too, although I'd imagine any trim dressing will have to be applied at every wash. But i've gone two/three weeks between washes, and it holds up.





Statement reevaluation:



According to the Stoners website, it's a 'spray and walk away' type product.





F that. If I applied it that way I'd hate it too. So I can see why people don't like it.



However, if it's applied with a cloth, it's a very nice product.

I'll get some pics this weekend when I do the MINI again...



Til then, try applying it correctly. It'll work wonders...

even with the rag, it still leaves it glossy and sticky
