After hitting up the trim in my own car,a buddy who's trim looked god awful wanted the same treatment.
2015 BMW X3drive, right out the gate the window trim had an oily residue that just wouldn't come off no matter how many times he washed it.

Easily back to normal with a LC microfiber cutting pad and some M100, and a Rupes white polishing pad.

Stuff goes on easy, comes off easy and makes trim bead like crazy haha

I see what appears to be masking tape for your coating process, and this is a good essential, to make sure you get complete total coverage onto the trim pieces without having the product running over onto paint-etc.

And yes, I agree with you, a superb product.

Indeed Dlux is great. I have it on my vehix... My Mustang EB has lots of black plastic trim, side skirts, front and rear splitter. Went through a New England winter, got to AZ, hosed it off and looks good as new!

I'm in New England so we shall see how well it holds up a year from now. It's such an easy application I don't mind doing it once a year.
 
What was your prep for the Dlux. Looks good

solution finish is what i like

I had a list of 3 products I was going to use, and solution finish was on it. But the product was more of a restorer than anything else. It does have amazing results but my trim didn't really need to be restored.

I was looking for a more permanent solution (no pun lol) and you just cannot beat DLux longevity! And the beading on the trim is unreal lol it repels water like a champ. There probably are lots of great products but I love CarPro stuff.
 
Damn thats impressive! (heads back to the store adds product to cart)

What did you apply Dlux with?

I used the small suede microfiber pieces the product came with to apply. And I had a bunch of Carpro suede microfiber towels I used to buff off. Pretty easy to come off.
 
And remember, DLUX isn't just great for exterior trim, it's excellent for all that plastic under the hood!

And for us here in the Valley of the Sun (AZ), we're more concerned about UV protection than water beading... So Dlux is great for protecting all those black plastic pieces known to fade.
 
Last week I restored the plastic trim on my brides 09 Tundra with solution finish and was very impressed. I just ordered some DLux to coat it and can't wait to try it out.

That's going to be a killer combo.
 
My brother is coming down for a visit 4th of July. He bought a used wrangler and he said the plastic fenders and bumpers are badly faded. We're going to try out solution finish / DLux combo and see how it holds up. I'll try to get some before and after pics.
