    Cleaning trim

    I need to order product to remove dried up wax and oxidized plastic trim and moldings. Something to darken it to original and not just cover it up and wear away. What is a good product? Thanks.

    All purpose cleaner like Sonax Multistar and a trim product like Solution Finish.

    I used it just a couple days ago to prep this windshield cowl.

    It went from this:

    To this, with just the Mothers Heavy Duty Trim Cleaner:

    And finally this, w/TW Endura Trim Coat.

    Looking good! So far I'm impressed with the TW Endura Shine product.

    If you do not clean the trim well, it will not hold the dressing as long. Mothers works great. It has the right viscosity (gelish) so it just does not run off the surface.

    Thanks! And yea it's good stuff. I put this trim coat on my folks new Kia Sorento about 4-5 months ago and it's still holding strong. Best of all, it continues to look good even in between washings. I've seen the results from much higher priced trim coatings and I can't even tell there's anything on the trim because it looks so blah after just a few days of daily driving. This stuff actually maintains most of its sheen, and a quick rinseless wash and it pops just like day 1. Even after 4 months and counting And best of all it attracts zero dirt.

    Works best on textured trim*

    I topped the Endurashine with PNS. We will see how well it holds up in winter.
