Best treatment for plastic??

Alright so due to the fact that I have the work truck F150 I have a lot of plastic on my truck. I have been using armoral which makes it look fantastic, however on the back bumper it collects the crap out of dust and after several days it is just caked in dust, is there a better solution than armoral for protection and shine??

Black Wow if you're looking for restoration. Meg's Hyperdressing, Natural Shine, or Supreme Shine for looks and protection.....depending on what look you're going for. Best thing you can do with the Armoral is get rid of it...but that' s just me.

Check out Trim Restorer and Natural Look Dressing from Poorboys. I trust anything from them as well.

I've read some bad reviews on Blackwow, have read about it running all over the place after a rain.

Any dressing will run when there is excess. If you follow the directions, or go back and give the trim a light wipe-down after 30 minutes or so to remove the excess, it won't run. Been there, done that.

People always put Black Wow on too thick. Of course it's gonna run when you do that. It's not a dressing, it's a restoration product.

If you follow the instructions on the bottle it will not run.

No votes for Super VRT huh? LOL J/K

I agree with the application... we get complaints that our VRT runs, but 9 times out of 10 we find out the customers been slathering it on the paint like cream cheese on a bagel. I recommend applying thin and then following up with a dry towel wipe towel, especially on textured plastics where product can tend to 'pool' in the low spots.

A buddy I work with has a 2000 Roush Mustang and I was watching him detail it yesterday, he uses Super VRT! I must say I was extremely impressed.

What would you recommend for protection on plastics, I got a new 2011 and want to keep the bed rails, and plastic on the bumpers looking good.

I'd have to guess the Super VRT, that he just mentioned for plastic trim
