    Re: Black plastic trim

    IMO move right into a coating like Dlux or Q2 Trim. Dlux is easier to use, isn't as grippy and on textured surfaces you won't need to wipe it off nearly as much.

    Here's a coating on a brand new vehicle. It will stay nice and dark and satin like this for a long while.






    Both will add the dark color back to even moderately faded trim on older vehicles too. This is a 5yr old 4x,xxx mile Mazda that I did a few weeks back.





    My wife's Lincoln was done 3yrs ago and we just got rid of it last week and it looked brand new like the day I coated it still.

    Thanks guys, got that done. Now, what about the A pillars or whatever they are called on the back edge of the doors by the windows? Would you use DLUX on those too?

    Thanks

    Yes to the pilllars. And do your headlights & taillights while you're at it.

    Also I'll add here that whatever trim (etc.) you are coating, proper surface prep beforehand is key to getting the full benefits from the product ... you especially want to make sure the surface is free of oils, etc.

    Already got the headlights, wiper arms, luggage rack and grill, will do the pillars and tail lights next. I prep with an alcohol/water mixture.
