I would like to find one good product that makes the black plastic exterior trim, the rubber seals and the tires on my car look rich and nice.

I want it to last long, protect, not look greasy, just rich black. What is the best kind of product for this? Dressing, restorer, protectant?

I have Aerospace 303 but I think it will wash off quickly from rain and isn't something that would work really well on exterior trim.

thanks!

303 works well on trim and seals, I've never tried it in tires.

I currently use Meguiar's Ultimate Black on trim and Blackfire Total Eclipse Gel on tires and love the look. If you're looking for something that does both, I have heard CarPro's PERL recommended a lot here but I have no personal experience with it.

A lot of expert here recommend UTTG but not yet tested by myself. Lol
Optibond for me is best so far

UTTG (ultima tire and trim guard) is fantastic for trim and seals... it also works well on tires if you like a nice black look not overly wet!! I tend to save it for my tires and not customers... customers tend to like the wet look, which u can get with UTTG with multiple applications... but it's expensive so i like to use it sparingly!!!!

:iagree:I've tried a number of different products and I like UTTG+ the best. It doesn't run when you put it on and it won't run in the rain. It doesn't have a fake glossy look. It's more expensive but it lasts. Another option which is also very good is Meguiars Ultimate Protectant Spray. It just doesn't last as long as UTTG+.
Mother's Back to Black runs off in the rain.
Poorboys is like mineral oil.
Duragloss is very thin. It runs/drips when you apply it. It works well on seals. It's just a pain to apply.
