Having bad luck with "dressings" on plastic external parts

[DZLROKET]

I have tried Armour all of course and several other products for door handles, trim, etc. But they all seem to streak after rain or turn white in a week or so and bleed onto the paint etc. Any sugestions?

I have been real pleased with Mothers Back to Black. It is more of a cleaner/protectant than some of the other trim black products out there that stain the trim.

 

[p-Bar]

Ditto on Rsimmons stuff works great.

 

[DCreed]

there's nothing like MOTHERS !

 

[JCostello]

Mothers Back 2 Black, I second!

Iv used Mothers as well and have had good luck with it.

But recently, Iv noticed that I do get some streaking on the side molding.

ANyone use 303 protectant??

I have some samples and thought about trying it to see how well it works>

Thanks.

I've heard the ultimate black solution is Nyalic, but it costs some $$ and takes work to apply. . . but it's a 1-time deal. I bought some to try but never did get around to applying it

Nyalic Surface Coating -- Space Proven Protection

Trim Shine from Stoner products also works very well. I found the best way to apply it is to spray in on a microfibre cloth, then rub it into the desired part.

I have been useing a product called ICE. Just wipe it on and off, been lasting about 6 monthes.

Ice is pretty good for as easy as it applies. I Ice everything!!! HA!

Hey donnier, yeah, I'm a believer in 303. Scrub your plastic with a brush and some dish soap, then apply the 303. I think you will like the result. 303 is made as a UV protectant for plastics and other synthetics. I've found prewashing really helps get the color back. Cheaper and has more uses than the Mother's car-care-specific stuff. I think it works better too.

The 303 Aerospace Protectant is a real good product. I use it on the trucks trim, inside and out, and on the Line-X bed liner. Ed B

303 Protectant seems to work better than any product of this type I have used in the hot Arizona sun. You may have to use it every 2 or 3 months during the hot season, but it does not leave a greasy film like Armor-All. And, when used on tire sidewalls does not turn brown in a short period of time. I would highly recommend this product for use on all interior and exterior plastic and rubber items. It is very easy to apply and reasonably priced.

MChildress can you provide a link or give more info on ICE? Can't find anything Googling it.

It's a Turtle Wax product. I use it, it works well on the black trim. Turtle Wax - Home

OK thanks. I've used Back to Black & not overly impressed with it so want to try something else.

Well I sprung for the $12 for some Ice and tried it on my black plastic door handels. It rained yesterday and the handels have streaks on them just like they did with back to black and several other products. next it's 303 we will see.

 

[rbattelle]

I've only ever used Meguiars Gold Class Trim Detailer, and I really liked it. No streaks, lasts a long time.

Very hard to find around here, though.

Is the 303 hard to find, and if so/if not, where to get it and is it expensive?

 

[PTalley]

303 can be found at any good marine dealer... . yes its expensive... about an $1 an ounce. You will like how it works, you will even start using it other places too.
