Another trick with tire gels

I love my AA Extreme gel and this should work with the boutiques as well, WG/DP/Pinn etc. I've been using it on trim like wiper cowls and bumpers etc, works awesome, much better then other trim products including PB Trim Restorer. What I do is just apply and let sit and soak in, then buff off with micro gently to remove whatever product is left on the top. The tire gel last even longer on trim as it doesn't see the motion and abuse that a wheel does. Water just beads right off like its been waxed and holds the fresh look even through rain. I have not noticed any "running" from the rain either.

Give a try.

Haha, you know I'm just messin' with you. I think it's cool for people to post new things, different processes, etc. to help others.

I agree about the trim gels. I used C G's trim stuff and it sucked. Ran everywhere when it rained
