Which is better Wolfgang exterior trim sealant or ultima trim and tire guard? By better I mean longest lasting. And then which would be the better for after every wash 303 or sonus trim and motor kote?

I would use capros dlux will last for 12 months and it's very easy to use.

You've got 3 products in this class, WETS, UTTG and the Blackfire Total Tire and Trim Sealant. They are all good, I don't think you can definitively say which one is longest lasting because every piece of trim is different.


And then which would be the better for after every wash 303 or sonus trim and motor kote?

I'm not sure why you would want to reapply something after every wash instead of using one of the 3 sealants above (or a coating like DLux or C4 as another poster mentioned, which would be longer lasting). 303 AP and Sonus Trim and Motor Kote are two completely different animals, the 303 is a short-lived dressing while the Sonus is an acrylic coating which may rival some of the sealants or coatings, depending on the piece of trim. The Sonus is usually used for engine compartments and wheel wells.

Okay I'll look into the carpros delux stuff it lasting 12 months sounds ideal. And then I'll use the sonus engine kote for what you mentioned wheel wells and engine bay.

I can't remember where but I heard using a a machine polish and a wool pad will restore some forms of trim

I would not recommed using a machine polish and a wool pad on trim, unless you plan on having some nice stained white trim.

None. I wouldn't use a polisher on my trim.

When I prepped my trim, I just hit it with a good all purpose cleaner and a towel to remove all the old products and dirt. From there, I applied a coat of the Blackfire product. The result was a great finish I didn't have to touch for months.
