Sealant that will not stain trim

[kestrel452]

Hello. I have been having issues with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant staining black trim. Is anyone else in the same boat there?

It's a great sealant wax that lasts a long time and I really like how easy it is to apply...but I am sure it's the culprit behind the stains on the plastic trim around my windows. Is there anything as good or better that doesn't stain rubber and plastic? Being good for making glass shed water is an added bonus.

Most any SIO2 product will work great, they can be applied on rubber/plastic/glass..with no issues

Hello. I have been having issues with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant staining black trim.

Can you please explain what you mean by staining? Is it darkening the plastic window trim or leaving some kind of white residue similar to a wax?

[kestrel452]

Hello! It's a white residue.

I really like Wolfgang DGPS and I use it every October but I know what you mean by staining black vinyl trim. I usually tape off the vinyl trim because the polish stains even more than the sealant. SiO2 products are a better option if you do not want the staining. The issue for me with the SiO2 products are that they last too long. I like applying sealants and waxes because it give me something to do.

Maybe you should teach the Mother-in-law to apply your sealants; best of both worlds! :idea:

I was actually thinking about switching (almost) completely over to the Griot's ceramic system. Good to know it's one of the recommended products on here. They claim UV protection on paint, rubber, and plastic, and I saw a YouTube test by a "Scott HD" who found it to be one of the most durable around.

I used OCW on my car recently...do I have to use the Griot's Surface Prep to get it off or can I just spray the 3-in-1 without doing an LSP cleanse?

[Bosko]

Surface prep is key in applying ANY product...the cleaner/smoother you can get the surface the better results you will have in durability/shine/slickness

[kestrel452]

Point taken!

Is Surface Prep strong enough to remove contaminants without really needing to clay? Are there any instances where I'd be better off using something like OCW instead of the ceramic spray? Griot's claims you can spray the 3-in-1 on literally anything, so....not sure what to do with all the bottles of OCW I have left lol.

[Bosko]

Ya I would go with surface prep...I just did my truck this weekend and started with that to remove old contamination .


I have to LOL.......we ALL have issues with garages full of 1/2 used products....it's the game....and the game that continues on and on....:xyxthumbs:
