Do you have a suggestion as to what product will hold up on the black trim around my "03 Avalanche? Armorall looks good for a couple weeks and that's all. I do keep it in the garage in south Florida.
Thanks.

For a more "permanent" fix (years in your case):
1.) Gatorback
2.) ValuGard E.T.R. Kit III

i can give you a solution, that requires no chemicals, but it will set you back around 20 bucks, for more info hit me with a p.m. and i give you a lil secret I'm pretty sure it's some guy's on here that know, but may not want everyone to know who to do it.....it will be permanent
 
Lay down a coat of Black Fire crystal seal, it works on paint but will also work on the plastic surface as well. Should leave it very natrual looking.

Keeping secrets about to keep trim looking good, why not just pass it alonng, LOL!

go to your local home depot or walmart and invest in a heat gun, plug it up and have your extension cord to work outside. Get close up on the plastic, and move the gun in slow left to right motion and you will see the trim start to what seems like peel it self a new layer of coated trim, test a small section to see what i am explaining, if you do this right you will come pat me on the back, literally and make you and your customers happy.......The thing is why i say it's a secret because not to many people know about this method, and non-DETAILERS really don't need to know becuase they will do it themselves instead of us who depend on our Detailing Dollars to support our families. When i do this i never do it at someone's home while they are watching me.

But this will do the trick on your truck just take your time and you will love the outcome.....Try it and come back and thank me later!:applause:
 
I own an Avalanche and it's a major problem on the older models keeping the cladding from fading. CAFCNA, The Chevy Avalanche Fan Club of North America recommends a product for the cladding but since AGO doesn't sell it I don't feel right in recommending it on this forum. They've also had members try the heat gun method. One member liked it but there was no long term review, only his initial post and one twelve days later. Another member permanently damaged his cladding using the heat gun and won't use it again. In the hands of a professional it may be the way to go but the average person should be very cautious.

Armor-dillo was truly a bust.
That's why GM went with Gatorback for the cladding-warranty issues.
