Help Me Pick a Trim Sealant/Coating!

**BTLew81** · 05-02-2017, 08:18 PM

My new VW Alltrack has some textured plastic trim around the wheel arches, as well as on the rear bumper. I'm trying to decide between the following products:

-Dlux - Reviews seem very good, but obviously not cheap
-Blackfire Trim Sealant - Not going to last as long, but cheaper, and gets good reviews as well
-Gyeon Trim - Can't find a ton of reviews, and similar price to Dlux

As far as prep for any of these, would McKee's wax remover and then eraser be good prep? Currently have Meg's PP 365 on the trim.

Thanks in advance for your expertise!

I would also toss out Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant. I was not a fan of the Blackfire trim sealant as it would gum up for me.

As far as coatings go, DLUX and Gtechniq C4 have worked for me. I have used Gyeon Trim on the engine bay plastics of my dad's car and I did not have any issues with it either. I have heard of some saying Gyeon was a bit hard to work with. Even Gloss Coat works pretty well on trim.

Is the trim in good condition? Meaning any sort of fading?

x2 on the WG. Easy application, durable, and a little goes a loooong way.

Thanks. The car is brand new, but the trim does look a little dingey if that makes sense. That being said, what would your suggestions be?

Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant.

I have been using it on my Rogue for over a year + now. It is easy to apply and lasts 4+ months. I'd say at the most you would apply it 3 times a year. I have been very happy with it.

Thanks. That does look very nice!

With Megs 365 on the trim, I bet you'll have a had time truly removing it. So a coating may not be a good idea unless you get aggressive with the cleaning

I'd go with the mckees plastic restorer, I like it better then wolfgang

Solution finish. Then buy their sealant or if you can't find it, they recommend meguiars trim coating.

Solution Finish is good. Unfortunately the sealant is only available to the professional detailer. I would top it with something like Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant. Which Meguiar's trim coating are you referring to?
