    Is Ultimate Protection safe on new plastic?

    Hello,

    The title pretty much says it all... I just brought a new car and read that some protectorates can actually accelerate the aging process of plastics and was just wondering if this was the case for UP? Is it designed to restore plastics? Or to protect new plastics?

    Thanks!

      UP is a water based dressing with a polymer component that allows it to bond to plastic and vinyl surfaces so that it won't just wash off in the rain. It's totally safe to use on both new plastic and vinyl to keep them looking that way, or for use on old, weathered surfaces to bring back the blackness and refresh their appearance. In both situations you'll want to work the product into the surface rather than just wiping it on and off. Working it in ensures proper coverage and penetration into the porous surface, as well as thoroughly cleaning older plastics and vinyls. It should be used sparingly; if you have any residue to wipe off after application that's a good indicator that you've over used the product. It should dry completely dry to the touch in a matter of minutes with no residue wipe off needed if used properly.

      There is nothing in UP that will cause a degradation of the plastic or vinyl surface to which it is applied.

        Great to hear! I assume this product also has some sort of UV filter in it?

          This should help you. I pulled the product info from meguiar's.com

          I recommend you clean the surface real good with something like APC (all purpose cleaner) so that it bonds and lasts longer on the trim you are applying it to.
