anyone have any success with any products for the black exterior plastic/rubber trim around the windows and such? have a few wax stains, i need something that will take care of it. i've tried mother's back-to-black and was not impressed with the results. i usually tape off all the trim when waxing, but unfortunately ran out of tape this time and now i've got some marks. any suggestions that HAVE WORKED for you will be appreciated. thanks.

 

Yep !!



All the rubber and black plastic parts can be done with this.
I did my enginebay yesterday and here is the result. It revives all your rubber hoses and the water beads of them if you spray it on.

 

where can i get this product?

 

ehm, i got it in the local car-shop over here, but that is in Belgium.

I'm sure Simoniz sells his product in the U.S. also.

 

That looks like good stuff, can it be used on the dash and whatnot?

 

I would not recomend it on the dash though.
It's stays a little bit "wet", so when you go over it with your fingers, your finger is a little bit greasy. So not suited for interior parts.

But as you can see, the rubber hoses and rubber trims around the windows are perfect for that product.It gives them a wet-look.

 

Reason I ask is some small areas on my interior "dash" are scraped up slightly (shoes on the door sills, small scratch on my glove compartment and i'm trying to find a product that will hide these imperfections.

 

hmm yea im gunna have to find this stuff as well

 

I think you'll need this product from Meguiars then.
I used it on my previous car and was impressed with the results of it !!

 

anyway, i was asking what to use to remove wax marks on the exterior window trim, not what i should use on the dash or my hoses. anyone?

 

The Simoniz will get that wax away
I also had ScratchX from meguiars on the black trim under the wipers, and it was totally white. I used the Simoniz and away the wax/polish was

 

Try Mothers or 3m. Napa carries 3m. Its a great product

 

i used 3 m and works great to get the wax of your rubbers

now im user another wax that wont hurt the rubbers

 

3M what? like what's the name of the product? i haven't seen the simonize before, but i know i can get 3M. and i said that i tried the mothers and wasn't pleased with the results.

I use this on all my black trim and rubber. It works great on the black plastic on the mirrors and the black plastic under the windshield wipers.
