I swear by 303 protectant...best stuff on the market in my opinion.

 

what if the pieces are already a little faded whats the best or is there anything to bring them back to life

 

jmorg1980,

Here are couple of products that are good at restoring faded vinyl trim. Careful with the "Forever Black". It's got black dye in it, and is only to be used on black trim. The Black Jack "Black Again" is one of the longest lasting exterior trim dressings you can by without dye in it.

I use Black Magic Professional Protectant. It works really well on my truck.... restores the dull plastics with a new like shine. Usually keeps the pieces shiny for at least 2 weeks and the price is right. I just picked up a 23oz. bottle for $5 and some change at Chiefs Auto Parts. Also works well on my dash and door panels. I've been using Black Magic for a few years now and I'm completely satisfied.... great potectant also.

 

303 has my vote.
I use it on my 2002 Supercrew. I spray some of the 303 into a plastic spray can lid and I apply it with a 1" foam paint brush to the external trim and the weatherstriping on the doors and such.
Works pretty well for me.

 

here's the best fix for the black plastic.....


get it smoothed and painted! LoL!

 

LoL! don't worry, the plastic piece will be disappearing from my truck slowly but surely! LoL!

 

Still looking for the best protectant for the plastic trim. Tried the 303 protectant, it ran, Tried Zaino Vinyl Protectant, it ran. I guess I'll try Black Again or have them painted like Harley 356 did, the parts look awsome painted!

 

If 303 ran, you used too much. Try buffing off more.

 

If Zaino or 303 ran you used too much. I did it myself when I first got my Zaino.
