[lucerne06]

have a 08 vibe and lots of body parts are the grey plastic , especially on the door bottoms. what is the best stuff to keep the bumpers and other plastic molding looking good?

303 Aerospace Protectant works well on plastic and rubber alike.

For over-the-counter-easy-to-find-stuff, try F-21 Protectant by Turtlewax.
I use it on tires too. Makes them look new, but still like rubber--not like glossy black paint.

Agreed, the stuff works everywhere. I try to order the 32 ounce bottles, they'll last me a whole year or longer. It's great around the house too.

Doesn't leave a crazy shine or residue like lots of other stuff.

I like turtlewax ICE interior

Back-2-Black works well and so does regular Armorall. Neither one seem to last more than a couple weeks, though.

anyone using something that lasts a while?

Black Wow lasts longer than B2B, more like a couple of months.

I will also recommend Aerospace 303. Some of the stuff with Black in the name has no color to it so should work just fine on your grey.

Back to Black is for all colors

Wow. A lot of recommendations for 303.
I saw it on Walmart's website, do they carry it on shelf?
I want to try it...sorry to hijack.

Dunno about Walmart, but boating supply and pool supply places often carry at as do a lot of car parts stores.

The Aerospace 303 website will also let you search for sellers by zip code.

I've never seen it at Walmart, but I did see it at Ace Hardware.

Stoners trim shine. Works great and beads when wet. I have tried Back To Black and found that it was junk. Did not last long and has the consistency of water.

 

[Glen871]

Meguiars ultimate Protectant.

 

[Colt]

Stoner Trim Shine sprayed on a cloth and applied.

 

[maintenanceMan]

vinylex from the group that makes lexol is my vote.

 

[lucerne06]

I just tried Meguiars ultimate Protectant, was on sale at AAP. anyway, worked very well, looks great, darkened the trim up to new look and not sticky or too shiny,,will see how long it lasts.
