  • No white "concrete" on textured black trim

    We all know that getting wax on black textured trim is a big no-no because it's almost impossible to remove. Well I detailed my In-law's Ford Edge yesterday without taping off the trim, because the Ult Paste has not stained the trim pieces on my car. I was still careful, but got some on the black texture anyways. I know the trim on my wife's '03 Explorer is the devil when it comes to wax on trim as were most other cars (mainly Fords). After polishing (oh man, did this car need clayed, but they didn't give me enough time to go all out) I applied the wax panel by panel, wiping it off as I went. I can't say I was too surprised but when I got to the areas of trim that I had inadvertently went over with wax, it buffed right off, leaving only a slightly shiny spot. So it looks like Ult Liquid isn't the only one not to stain trim.

    That's good to know!

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      I won't use a wax unless it doesn't stain the trim.. Just easier and MUCH less time consuming.

        You may have caught it before it had time to fully dry but this is good to know.
