Plastic Trim

[PeterB]

Whats the best product for treating the black plastic trim on a 182 (or any car)? Anyone used autoglym bumper care?

AG Bumper care is pretty good.

Somepeople will say smooth peanut butter.

Cleaning or protecting?

 

[PeterB]

i use triplewax car shampoo to wash the car including the plastic trim, is it better to use a specific cleaner for the plastic parts? Was just looking at protecting tbh

 

[JD]

Plastics are just like most car parts, in that they will need cleaning of dirt/grease/prior products and sometimes waxes/polishes.

If you are just looking to protect, Chem Guys New Look trim gel, AG bumper care, 303 Aerospace protectant, or a more permanent result with C4 from GTechniq (if they ever deliver your order...).

AG bumper care is all you need really, pointless imo spending anymore money on a product for this area when AG is more than up to the task.

Fancy popping in and giving them a quick shove??

I disagree. It depends on your budget, your useage and what you want from a product. I personally don't have the time anymore for a product that will wash out after a few washes. So willing to give something that will cost me triple the price for years of lasting a go...

 

[PeterB]

yeah think ill get some AG, although the GTechniq stuff does sound really good

Poorboy's Natural Look is pretty good for plastic trim, too. You can also use it for tyres, interior plastics, leather, etc.
