    Essence polish staining plastic or rubber trim?

    I haven't been able to find much on this. I used the essence polish quite a bit over the long weekend. It doesn't seem to hurt the plastic trim at all. I didn't even bother taping a lot of spots just because it was coming of easy. Anyone know the official recommendation on this?

    What's your experience with it?

    I use Essense a lot on plastic trim. Mirrors and such. Seems to work great. Then I’ll top it with Essense Plus or ceramic. Here is a tundra I did last week. Al the 10 year old black trim was white and faded.

    Wow, that's cool, I didn't realize that was a thing!

    Wow did u do the window pillars with it too? I was wondering if you could actually use it on trim to restore it or not?

    I did use it on the painted kinda flat back door pillars also. It works good on the flat painted stuff. I haven’t had any negative effects yet on plastics and trim. I’m sure some heavily textured stuff could act different. I really love the Essense Twins.
