    Re: exterior trim on Nissan Xterra - ugly

    I know it is a rhetorical question, but yes I did put wax on the trim, mea culpa.

    Waxes like #16, 845, 476 actually usually do well on trim, at least in the short term...just not on top of uncured WETS.

    And easy on the APC! Too strong and it will stain/spot some exterior plastics on the xterra.

    I ended up using the mothers product to restore and bring it back to life, looks great this morning as you can see. Will allow to cure for a day then apply WETS

    Thank all of you! Such an awesome resource...
