What would you use?

[Sal329]

I know there has been a lot of talk on here about exterior trim products but... On a Honda CRV and a Honda Element what would you use on the plastic bumpers? The CRV is a black color and the Element more of a gray. I was thinking of All Season Dressing?

Sal329,

On the plastic trim that is on bumpers and lower cladding I would use the ASD. I have used it on my wife's expedition that has plastic panels that are about 12 inches high on the lower edges of her truck with great results. I usually do two coats. The first coat I wipe on and let set to penetrate into the plastic some, once this has appeared to have dried I will apply another coat and either let it dry as is for a high gloss shine or buff off the left over dressing for more of a natural finish. The look also tends to last for a good while.

Ok picked up a gallon locally, also got nxt metal polysh, foam applicator pads and some #80. Going back soon for some Degreaser, APC and 151 when they call.

Another question. Can I spray the ASD on the bumper or trim with a sprayer then dpread with a foam pad? Or shoud I pour some in a smaller bottle with a flip top and put a small, quarter or dime size drop on a foam pad then apply to the trim?

Re: What would you use?

I just got ASD and I spray on a yellow applicator pad and spread it on my trim/mirrors etc. A little goes a long way! I haven't tried it on my Yukon with plastic on top of the bumper, I plan on doing the same so I don't spray it all over the place

I also use Trim Detailer, it too works great (haven't tried the aerosol can yet). I've used M40 in the past, it worked great just didn't last as long on the exterior plastics as trim detailer or ASD has.

I have used Gold Class Trim Detailer w/ mixed results. I think the aerosol Exterior Trim Detailer works better. I've also liked Stoner Trim Shine.

I hate the term dressing. In a drunken stuper I started to detail the spoiler on my 928 with hidden valley.....didn't turn out so good.

Grab a tube of ScratchX in error instead of toothpaste! LOL.

On a side note, may try the aerosol trim detailer although I have bad evening winds and the foam may just blow off of the car.....
