Do you use a special product to protect window pillars?

[PBoy]

I sometimes use touchless car washes in the winter and I know that takes a toll on trim, e.g. pillars

Is an AIO product the way to go?

[PBoy]

no suggestions? :(

What kind of material are they? Black plastic? Chrome? What?

They are probably plastic. Some sort of trim restorer would work. There are a ton out there and I've only had the pleasure of using 303 and adams vrt. I've tried a couple here and there and haven't really tried a lot and haven't really found one that I really like that doesn't run.

Only problem with this is they tend to run when it rains. So you'll end up with some streaks on the paint, which I personally can't stand. I recently picked up some Poorboys trim restorer which due to the weather being so cold, I haven't had a chance to test out. Heard great things about it and everyone on the forum seems to like it.

Agreed. Works on plastic, chrome, paint, etc.

Although it doesn't stain plastic trim I've never seen it recommended for plastic.

Poorboy's Trim Restorer or 303, IF they are plastic.

I just applied Ultima's Tire and Trim Guard (UTTG) two weeks ago. I wanted something that was less like a dressing and more like a protective layer that will last. It has been raining here in Biloxi and the product does not run at all and still looks like the day I applied it. Very happy so far! It is expensive, but a small amount really goes a long way!

Glad you found something that suits your needs! :xyxthumbs:

Klasse AIO is a good alternative because it has a mild polishing ability and a pretty durable protectant. I use it on plastic/glass/paint/chrome. It does not stain and is super easy to apply.
