What do you use to get the shine back in the window molding??

A spot that has always bothered me on my fords, the window molding turns hazey grey from the sun, what to you use to give it the new look?

How about the flat black trim under the driver and passenger doors on my Screw?

I use the Z16 from Zaino "Perfect tire shine" it has UV protectants in it and has worked great not just on the tires but the plastic and rubber trim.

What is parchment trim? Is it a plastic or rubber? If so yes it would work...

Then I am not sure, I know it works good on black, I don't know if it would discolor your trim, but since I don't know I would not recommend using it unless someone know's it will NOT effect your trim...

meguiars trim detailer

it says on the bottle that it restores color and richness to faded and discolored trim and molding.use it on all porous and non porous plastic surfaces such as plastic bumper and trim,decorative moldings,air vents,window trim and window blades and arms....... there is no directions on here saying do not use on any particular part............

One other product you might try is 303 Protectant. I use it on all my exterior moldings, trim, and soft tonneau, and am really impressed with how it well works. According to everything I've read, 303 has the best UV protection package on the market. Whether they do or not, I'm sold on it for my truck.

Before ..........



After ..........



If your curious, let me know and I'll fill ya in on the details.

I'll second the suggestion for the 303 protectant. I use it for the gray plastics on my 2002. What I'm not sure of, however, is whether it will "bring back" a plastic that has hazed already.

Good luck!

Thumbs up

I have been using Eagle One tire shine for all my trucks trim. The bedrails, to the window frame in the back, even under the windows. It works good and last's a long time.

How well does the 303 work on interior plastic? Is it greasy feeling?
