Bought a new vehicle. What do you recommend for keeping exterior plastics from fading?

I have 303 Aerospace Protectant which has UV protection... however I don't think it works well on exterior surfaces.

I also have Black WOW trim restorer... but this brings old and faded plastic back to life.

How do I keep the new trim on my new vehicle protected from the sun and keep it from fading in the first place? Would Black wow protect and prevent the trim from fading?
 
I use Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant and I'm very happy with it. A little bit goes a long way. I do want to try DLUX at some point on trim.

I agree. I think if you were to use this product regularly your trim should stay "like new" forever, and it's pretty foolproof to use.

Sure you can also use a coating, something like Optimum Gloss-Coat or Opti-Lens, GTechniq C-4, or CarPro DLux, which would outlast the WETS, but those also have a more difficult application process.

:iagree:

The coatings will last longer but if not applied properly, such as uneven coverage or streaks, would probably need to be removed and reapplied and it's not easy removing it from pebbled plastic once it's cured.
 
Like others have said, Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant is awesome! :xyxthumbs:
 
So just to be clear... the Wolfgang Trim Sealant is a different kind of product than Black WOW?

That's what I'm using on my new Rogue, two applications over the past year have been pretty adequate. I have DLUX but haven't used it yet.

You'll like Dlux, just don't use a foam brush to apply. The suede applicators work good.
 
DLUX and WETS are great and long lasting. Blackfire AIO Trim is the easiest to use and looks great but doesn't seem to last as long.
 
Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant gets my vote as well. Great product.
 
Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant(WETS).

EXTREMELY easy to apply. DO NOT be afraid of the price. It is not as expensive as it looks. And DO NOT be thrown off by how small the bottle is. You may have never used a product like WETS. The amount you use is based on tiny DRIPS and not dollops or dime sized portions of product. And it goes a loooong way.

This is an outstanding product!
