Exterior plastics: Nissan Xterra

[fairlady350z]

I just picked up a new Nissan Xterra Pro-4x this past Tuesday, but i was wondering one thing while giving it its first polish and wax. What is the best way to keep the exterior plastic (bumpers and the front of the roof rack) looking new? None of my previous cars had anything of the sort, so I'm new to caring for this type of material. Thank you everyone for your input in advance.

Clean with APC, do an IPA wipe down and apply UTTG or Solution.

Definitely would get a trim sealant as suggested above.

Here's another to consider. It's more expensive but last for quite a while:

If you're looking for something a little cheaper (nothing against Ultima or anything, I have the interior stuff and love it) you can try the 303 Aerospace stuff. I use it on the exterior plastics on my Jeep and it seems to work pretty good for keeping it nice looking.

I like Wolfgang Trim Sealant but I recently put it on a new truck and it attracted a lot of dust.

Poorboys Exterior Trim is a good choice and is a lot cheaper than Wolfgang. Lexol is fine too.

use a trim sealant for sure. if its new you should not have to restore it if kept in good condition with a trim sealant.

cmichael258 dont link to outside manufacturers that are not sold by autogeek. can get you into trouble.
