Exterior plastic trim

[MiniGibbo]

What do you guys recomend, ive had the autoglym green gel stuff in the past and apart from being slimey it fades within a couple of weeks.

Would my "poor boys natural look" be any good? i read the bottle and it says plastic but unsure of if its only suitable for interiors>?

Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel for me.

If you wanted a more permanent (yearly) fix then go for G-Techniq C4

[MiniGibbo]

My trims arnt that bad, theyre less than six months old but it looks like the bodyshop got a bit of polish on one of them which has come up milky white in patches :S

Ill look these two up on CMC.

Would that G-technig be the best bet then i notice its a lot more money than the others?

Yeah it's quite a bit more expensive, but it's been known to last around 2 years without needing more treatment. It's more of a 'treat and leave' product then a product you would use everytime you wash like New Look Trim Gel.

I bought Valet pro trim glitz in the end as reading the other stuff the C4 one it said it needs to be applied properly so I gave it a miss as I'm a cleaning tard to put it bluntley :oops:

I know that a hot steam clean from a jet washer followed by the back to black stuff when dry does the trick.

back to black is silicone based which is a big no no

the dodo juice one you can also get in a matt finish

The same stuff u use for your tyre shine "bullshit paint" works a treat and stays shinny

Hope this helps

[rorz_vts]

i didnt realise the dodo juice was a 12month fix :) i got to see someone using Gtechniq C4 the other day think im going to be getting some of that for a more purposeful yearly fix and is really good value for money if stored correctly

I am using this stuff (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_20 4431_langId_-1_categoryId_165651) and it's not to bad for a cheep stuff..

[MiniGibbo]

Yer i bought valet pro glitz, arrived yesterday with my megs tyre shine stuff..

Thing that pisses me off is i bought all this trim end of last summer brand new from the dealers for a fucking fortune and its got white smearing on it which must be from polish :S
