I'm not sure what the best type of product to use on the black side skirts and bumpers? Wax, Silicone protector? I've never used wax on something like that in the past but they seem to have a smooth finish that would take the wax ok.

I ceramiced mine as well.

However, if you arenā€™t interested in that, here is a great product for plastics and rubbers...

303 (30313-CSR) UV Protectant Spray for Vinyl, Plastic, Rubber, Fiberglass, Leather & More - Dust and Dirt Repellant - Non-Toxic, Matte Finish, 32 Fl. oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KN0UOEE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sc6oEbH4JZ31P

I've used 303 in the past and can say that I also like their products. Trying to find a product with UV protectant is the trick as plastic is quick to fade and haze under the sun. Just look at everyone's hazy yellow headlights or door trim. Ideally putting a UV coating down and then covering it with a clear 3M PPF would be the way to go.

Thanks for all the tips, at first I was like "what is this ceramic witchcraft you speak of?" After a lot of research, and learning how to properly detail a car, I now have a ceramic coating as well. Geez it took forever though with the wash, clay and sealer.

I've been using AMMO Mud. its listed for use with tires on the website but you can use it for plastic trim as well.

What are owners using to lightly polish fine scratches out of the satin black plastic area? Eg... Top of rear bumper near license plate.

Would need to be something none abrasive but also a polish.

Not looking for a protectant such dressing ... but a safe polish.

Thanks!

I would use "carpro essence" a very fine self diminishing abrasive polish, go steady fella as the black satin is paint and you don't want to go through it. In the future think about coating it all in carpro "cquartz lite" an entry level ceramic coating for the non professional, awesome stuff.

I use Carpro Reload, top to bottom...wheels, calipers, windows, paint and plastics. It the best detail spray Iā€™ve used period!

Of course its $$ but worth every penny.
