Agreed. A coating is the way to go.

:iagree::dblthumb2:
I used OCW for 3 plus years on my Wrangler including the trim. It looked brand new when I sold it while most jeeps of the same age were already grey.
I do believe that Meg's has mentioned that it does have UV protection. Only going by (failing) memory on that.
I have a '04 Chev PU that has a boat load of black plastic and it's still all shiny and not faded. Now, if I could find something that would work on "Line-X" bed coating all would be good with that world (LOL).

I think a lot of mfgs make that claim based on the fact that a product is sitting on top of your surface filtering a small percentage of UV, but to me it seems like a half truth. A few products claim actual UV inhibitors and those are the ones I prefer.

Most products these days I think have some sort of UV inhibitors in them. How effective they are on different surfaces is to be determined
OCW obviously has patented protection BUT does that only apply to clear coat paint ? I would imagine it would work but really plastic trim is different than paint
You can use 303 on there and buff it in real good every few weeks they claim 30-45 days protection
You could get the trim clear coated and have true multi year protection. I had our painter clear coat a couple items for outside that were known to fade
The trim coatings probably work best for the longest for a product you can buy

I think you're on the right track with OCW - I'm sure that would work well if you apply every 3-4 months to ensure your protection stays strong. However, carpro dlux is a great option too and would likely give 12 months of consistent protection. I use dlux on my personal car and like the look and durability.

^^ this. I use GYEON's Q2 TRIM and love it. Here's a CRV I did last summer. I know the owner well and he is still loving it as it looks and is performing like day one still even after winter. I concur as my wife's vehicle has been done and is going strong too. It's so so so nice not having to "dress" it in order to make it look good after a strong wash. Maintains its nice dark satin luster wash after wash.
