What can I use on my plastic on my avalanche to make it last any ideas let me know thanks Ron I watch your commercials a lot
I get a lot of questions via e-mail. I appreciate everyone's trust. Don't have time to type for one set of eyeballs though...
Hi Ron,
Here's the short answer...
Whatever product you decide to use - you must use it regularly.
The plastic GM gave you on your Avalanche didn't last forever on it's own and nothing you pour out of a bottle and wipe onto the plastic is going to last forever either.
That's just how it works.
Here's a product called Solution Finish and it works but two things,
1: The plastic must be clean before use. If you've used Armor All or other oily protectants in the past you must do a super duper cleaning job to get as much of this other stuff off.
2: After using Solution Finish, you must keep on using it. Same goes for ANY product.
Nothing lasts on plastic. This is why I drive a classic Chevy. It has CHROME.
See my full write-up here from one of my classes. I show with picture and explain with text what to do.

Lots of people find me via the how-to articles I write and share on the www.AutogeekOnline.net car detailing discussion forum.
This is also where I prefer to answer (type out in-depth answers), for car detailing questions. That’s because when I do this via e-mail only one set of eyeballs sees the information and it can be time intensive and I don’t have tons of typing time.
It’s also a LOT harder to share links, pictures and videos in an e-mail.
So I’m happy to answer your questions but I need to do it on the forum.
