    Door jamb protection - longer term options...

    I dont want to coat them first off... With that out of the way, I was wondering what can be used easily on the door jambs? I wipe them down every 2 weeks or so with a QD in hopes to keep the dust/dirt away but its white so everything shows. I was thinking about using PNS or Can Coat or something longer term to help keep dust and dirt from collecting as much... I dont know how much it would help honestly and maybe just cleaning them by hand with a QD would still be best...

    Thoughts?

    Re: Door jamb protection - longer term options...

    Hey, can’t say how much it’d cut down on any dust and dirt accumulation, but something like PNS, CanCoat or Megs Fast Finish should make quick work of the jambs. I generally apply whatever LSP to the jambs as I have applied to the rest of the car. During washes I have spray sealant or wax for a drying aid and hit the jambs with that too.

    Honestly, there always seems to be something lingering on the kick panels/skills of the jambs, otherwise they seem to be relatively clean. Hope that helps!

    I'm not sure if anyone has ever tried Sonax Poly Net Shield on such, but I would think this might be one heck of a worthy candidate, Spray and wipe, voila, done!

    Other easy peasy options, Ultima Paint Guard Plus, Optima Opti-Seal WOWA's, or other WOWA's of your personal choice.

    These sort of protectants won't have you digging for days to remove powdery caked residues, nor shouldn't cause any detriment on rubber weather-stripping, or the boatload of plastic crap pieces that all modern vehicles have door jambs laden with.

    This sounds like a great idea, think I may try this later this week since I have some PNS.

    I’ll just leave this here and say it works great.

    But it is a lite version of a coating and it may not be what you are looking for when you say you don’t want to coat them.

    DG Aqua WAX and it dries clear in those hard to reach places.

    I’m thinking that:

    •It’s hard to beat the “QD Method” for an
    easy approach in maintaining door jambs.

    •The only difference is that I use Cleaning
    products that do “leave something behind”.
    Products that fit that bill nicely, IMO, are
    ones such as:
    -Meguiars Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

    -Wolfgang Über Rinseless Wash
    {@ the
    recommend Detail Spray dilution ratio}

    Honestly I like Ultima Acrylic Waterless Wash for those areas. Cleans well and leaves a decent layer of protection behind. I always wipe these areas down after a wash, so for me the QD/WW method works fine.

    I believe OP said cancoat was an option. If your cool with that I’d do that. I used Tac systems moonlight (coating lite) and was easy peasy and cleans up well.

    Can coat should do the same.

    Griots 3-1 ceramic wax. The griots son’s day it’s a real life 6+ month sealant. If I were to believe someone on durability claims it be griots

    Perhaps other options could be any in the PBMG line of spray on coatings. (Pinnacle Black Label-Etc)

    These too would be very easy to work with, spray and wipe.

    In any case, I'd be inclined to do a wipe with a prep product first like Carpro Eraser or such to remove any previous products, so that the more durable protectants will properly bond.
