I tried this for its intended purpose - wax, and didn't care for it. BUT, it is the best stuff I've ever used on trim. Goes on very easily and needs little, if any, wiping afterwards. Plus, if you get any on the paint it's no big deal - just wipe it off.

The best thing I have found that works great is, Turtle Wax Professional Tire Dressing. It gives it a very deep wet shine look. And it last for a long time.

I also use the Mothers Back to Black, when I use it I put some on at every washing.

But what happens if you get it on the paint or windows? I'm telling you - try the ICE.

Stop using ArmorAll, it has mineral spirits in it that will fade your plastics. Why it's allowed to be on the market........

I had a Wrangler that got these white spots on the fenders (same type of material) because I didn't know any better. Now that I know, I will never use ArmorAll again.

Armor-All SUCKS. It'll dry out your leather, etc. STP makes a similiar product that does not.

Personally, I don't like all that slick, shiny, sloppy crap on my vehicles... I don't use any kind of dressing.

Get a pro to paint it to color match or just black. Color match looks really good and just seems to add to the prestige of the monster. It just seems to make it look what we paid for them instead of the low end plastic that is used. When You wax You just get it out of gaps and no paint to worry about. Even if You paint trim black waxing still works.

There have been several good recomendations to use mentioned and cost less.

Anybody tried using ICE on the interior plastic? I know some people who have used it on the exterior with good results, just never really gave the interior any thought.
