    First time for CQuartz.....

    Been thinking of trying if for 5 years, now I will experiment on the daily driver before I tackle the Vette. I have clayed, washed 2 daily drivers. Now I will polished and apply the coating. Question: do you apply to the plastic bumpers, etc?
    thanks to all

    You can apply it to plastics without any concerns.

    Because you can apply it to plastics, I’ve been thinking of getting it to use on wheel wells to eliminate having to constantly use dressings on them. Will probably save product in the long run this way.

    My thinking is you can wash and clean a coating covered wheel well and regain the fresh look without having to apply a dressing but I’ll have to experiment and see.

    If it’s textured plastic I would use DLUX instead. For smooth plastic or trim, UK 3.0.

    Yes I was thinking DLUX too. That’s the first coating I saw that could be used on plastics.

    Are you referring to painted bumpers or plastic trim type bumpers?

    It will work. If the plastic is faded DLUX would do better to make them look blacker. DLUX works really well in wheel wells. No need for dressings.
