Ultimate Protectant. But GC Trim Detailer is pretty good too.

I'll try Ultimate Protectant once I run out of Gold Class Trim Detailer.

Re: Ultimate Protectant

Since my question has gone unanswered, I'll ask anyone who has used both Gold Class Trim Detailer and new Ultimate Protectant on exterior trim.

Which did you prefer for exterior trim?

Re: Ultimate Protectant

I wanted to get one, however, I still have three bottles of GC Trim Detailer.

Re: Ultimate Protectant

I finally have it on my local store, PepBoys. UP is $9.49 each. Have anyone seen this in WalMart yet? If they are available in WalMart, they are usually a couple of dollars less. For example, NXT TechWax 2.0 it retailed for $17.99, however in WalMart they sell it for $15.49 in my area.

Re: Ultimate Protectant

Mothers B2B is one of the best plastic *restoration* products available. It not only dresses, but restores the plastic over multiple applications. Once restored, you need to use a dressing, like UP.

Don't mix-up the two products. One restores and dresses, the other just dresses.

It won't be a fair assessment if you apply a dressing (UP) on an un-restored plastic.

I think you may be mistaken. UP says directly on its label that it is a trim restoration product. The fact that it dries to the touch and lasts as long as it does may also indicate that it is a restoration product more than a simple dressing.

Huzzah! I finally located and purchased a bottle of UP, I was extremely tempted to pick up most of the other products but I have to use out my tin of Gold Class before I buy another, I've already got one new and one old QID (unopened), I have to use out my 64ozer of NXT wash and gallon of GC first and with M105/205, I don't really need the compounds.

I haven't been on here in a while so I just now started reading the Lab Sample P reviews and it looks like I'm going to have to buy another Meguiar's product.

I have to agree with you. Mothers B2B is one of the best plastic restoration. I still have 1/4 of a bottle, however, I start using GC Trim Detailer. Trim Detailer is produced shinier finish (sometimes oily), however, I wipe it off, just a bit, to get the finish I like.

Re: Ultimate Protectant

Doesnt last any longer than Mother's Back to Black from my experience.

I applied it to a ONR-cleaned plastic windshield cowl. 2 days later, it rained for 2 days straight and the cowl is white again.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Ultimate Protectant

i have the same problem, mike said the surface might not have been cleaned good enough and/or it was to cold out when u applied it, since then i have bought #39 to clean all my trim but i havent had the chance to clean the trim and re-apply UP because my car has been in the audio shop for a month now getting my stereo re-done, when i get a chance to clean and reapply UP i will post my results.

Good point about the cold. It was a warm 45 F for the winter. Cold is relative though.

I will try again when it's warmer. And i'll use IPA to clean it after a wash.
