If this type of posting has already been done, please let me know and I will have the moderator's take it down(i couldn't find any posting like this). I live up here in the Northwest and I detail cars on the side. As I'm sure some(if not all) of you know Washington is known for the rain and with the rainy season just around the corner and I'm needing some input. Half if not two thirds of my clients I have are people that don't have there cars detailed on a regular bases(once a month or twice a month if i'm lucky) and one of the things I run into the most is clients asking me, "why does my exterior plastic/vinyl/rubber* trim and look like **** after it rains" and "why does the stuff you put on our plastic/vinyl/rubber* exterior trim not last very long(by long they mean a month)"? I use M40(60% of the time), ASD(20% of the time) and Ultimate Protectant/Ultimate Black(20% of the time) on the exterior plastic/vinyl/rubber* trim pieces. Before I apply any of these dressing, I always make sure the surface has been cleaned with APC/APC+ so we have a fresh surface to apply too. Now, before I became a member of the Meguiar's Lifestyle(he he) I would always use a exterior trim dressing product that had a "turtle" on it and that stuff would go on easy and last forever and would not spot or run when it rained for days on end. So my real question is does Meguiar's make a plastic/vinyl/rubber exterior trim dressing that will last or at least hold up to the rain that we get up here?
Here is one more, If Water Based Dressings are obviously Water Based then Solvent Based Dressings are either petroleum/silicone, right? Which something that is petroleum/silicone based should hold up better in water, right?
*excluding the tires
