what is the best product for the black trim on the outside of the car, i mean like mud spats, and the bumpers of a vn?

I swear by export Tyre Shine (supercheap $3 / can)
cheap
effective
natural looking
easily applied
shine lasts awhile
as far as these sorts of things go - does'nt attract large quantites of dust

this is a pretty personal sort of thing but...

yep....armourall or export tyre shine lol
is the best for black bumpers, black door strips, the black strip around windows, door handles, tyres...
I just don't like that stuff for interiors of cars...but agree with Holden#1..it's a personal sorta thing...

I personally wouldnt reccomend using armor all to anyone, it cuts plastic and rubber life drastically.

thats what i have heard too, i usually use spray and whip for interior.

Mr Sheen works great in the engine bay..........again personal sort of thing

yeah it does....but not having any kinda protectant on the black rubber/plastic is worse...it's much like going in the sun without sunscreen....it will cause the rubber to discolour and eventually crack.

Problem with armourall is the high level of silicone, I used it for years not knowing the affects it can have, now after recommendations I use 303 aerospace protectant gives same level of protection yet without the high level of silicone, wish I knew about this years ago but you learn something new everyday .

 

[holden#1]

where do ya get this 303 aerospace protectant?

 

[Aggro_VE]

Arrr ****! trying to remember....think it was either supercheap or autobarn any good auto store should have it, great stuff, and great protection without the greasy slippery too shiny look.

what does the silicone in armourall do thats so nasty? ive been using it for ages... might use something different when it runs out.
