  • Seeking advice on my exterior bumper & bed situation

    Hi all,

    I purchased a 2010 Toyota Tacoma truck about a month ago. In that time I have washed it once a week and waxed it a couple of times with Gold Class+ Liquid which has worked great.

    I have also fallen in love with the Quick Interior Detailer for the inside of my cab. The ease of use, the confidence I can use it on everything I want in the cab from the gauges to the radio, to the dash and the doors and know it is gentle and safe, plus a smell so mild it doesn't trigger my Asthma is just seemingly the perfect product for me.

    Finally, the question... My Tacoma has a rubber front bumper, and the Tacomas have a synthetic bed that is more less like a bedliner (some sort of black plastic) that covers from bed floor to flat textured bed rail covers for the lack of a better term. You know, the "lip" that goes over the top of the bed sides... Anyhow, I need a product that will protect the front rubber bumper and the parts of the bedliner that are not covered by the bed mat I purchased. I want something that will keep those parts looking black without white spots, without being too shiney, and somthing that won't streak when it gets rained on.

    I had picked up natural shine and read that even though it was more/less an interior product some guys have had good luck on exterior, while some others complained of rain streaking. I read to put it on with a foam applicator and let it soak in for 5 minutes and then hand buff it out with a mf cloth for best results.

    I have not opened it yet. Should I use it or exchange it for the ultimate or other Meguire's product?

    TIA for helping a noob!

    All Season Dressing or Ultimate Protectant would be better for exterior. UP being less glossy, though the ASD will dull down soon enough.

    Same idea for applying them.

    You may like to keep the Natural Shine, it will have more UV protection for the interior, but up to you.

        The only exterior protectant that isn't going to streak when it rains is Ultimate Protectant. That would be my recommendation.

        A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

          Thanks Colin, That is what I intend to pick up. I am pretty much hooked on Meguire's now, but in all honesty if it wasn't for this great forum I'd be clueless on how to pick out or use a lot of their products. It seems both Meguire's employees and happy customers have gone to great lengths to educate the consumer here. It's much appreciated.
