Detailing the Plastic

[jimbo]

What is everyone using to detail all the plastic panels on the VX?

I've tried a few products but have trouble keeping them from looking a little smudgey. (Rubbing - Rubbing - Rubbing)

...What you want is something like Meguiers Back to Black.

Any product made for dash boards and trim that has UV protection is fine. I use Black Magic, some hate it because it tends to collect dust over time and is greasy, but if you touch up your VX daily, or several times a day like I do all you'll notice is a deep rich shine You'll get many opinions on this topic, and there is plenty of coverage in the SEARCH feature. Enjoy your VX

I have tried four or five products so far .......... (sorry, I can't recall the names at this time) ........... and so far .......
.
Mother's Back To Black is my favorite.
.
Helps to give the cladding a nice even 'rich' look - not greasy.
.
Streaks appear much less than with the other products.
.
Also appears to wear very well.
.
I do not like how this product - or any similar product - works on the hood insert (so far). Currently, I am using Rain-X on the hood insert.

formula 303... expensive, but well worth it..

Spray it with Line X

Get it chromed!!!

Now, that is a heck of a MOD!

I second the 303. By far the best and I've tried lotsa stuff. Good for all soft material, leather, tires, etc

Maguire's Endurance - last for weeks not days.

back to black

If you call Maguire's, they say their" trim detailer" product was designed specifically for the clading on GM vehicles(AKA ISUZU) like the Avalanche. Same plastic. Around here at least, Wallyworld was the only vendor. Now they dropped it so I get it from Maguire's. We use it in the detail bay... like 4 or 5 bucks a bottle, we get 6 at a time. Great s... Take your time,no streaks brings it back nicely.

When I had my VX I always used Stoner Brand Trim Shine. I thought it looked most natural, not too shiny.

[omegavx]

I second Maguire's Endurance I use the Gloss version and it works really well.

I just bought Maquires Vinyl and Rubber Protectant and Shine. Haven't used it yet but I've heard good things about it. Anyone else use it?

[t2p]

Has anyone used and/or compared 303, Back to Black, Endurance ...... ???
.
Inquiring minds want to know .......

Hanalei,

I use that one(McGueiar's), and I have to say, it is fantastic. Lasts about two weeks if you drive everyday. Stays on even after light drizzle, runs off a little under heavy rain conditions, but it repels dirt and dust as long as it is on...
