Chevy Avalanche Body Armor Protectant?

What do you pro's use on the body armor of a Chevy Avalanche? I need something that will restore the sheen (glossy or matte - either one works for me), but something that will not wash off easily from rain.

Use a long lasting tire dressing like Meguiar's High Endurance.

It isn't what it is designed for, but it works. I use it on trim that is rough, but definitely don't put it on paint. I'm sure you already know that. If I recall, the avalanche has rough panels, but if it were smooth, hit it with Souveran, Max Wax, Sig Series II.

A guy at work got a kit called Gatorback Textured Plastic Coating for his Avalanche. It look good real good. A little pricey $175 I think.

175 is sooooo not worth it, just stick with the tire and trim stuff

Whoa, I just researched them, and looks like I'm gonna have to find me a GM dealer that will do the treatment on my Mercury truck lol. I have gray rear bumper kinda like the GM color that nothing works on, not even Trim Restorer. That Gator Back treatment looks sweet, I saw before and after photos and from reviews from people it's permanent. Whereas even the dyes from other manufacturers will still fade after 4-6 months.

Only thing is looks like that company only specializes in GM's.
