Matte black pillars and offroad plastic trims?


Recommended Posts

There are cars with Matte black door pillar trims and plastic fender flares. I am curious which product is actually proven to work to protect these areas? 

Optimum Car wax, Hyper seal , etc. will they work? Or do I need to use something like 303 Aerospace?

There are trim protection specific products like Opti-Trim , but I'm asking about more of a product in regards to regular continual protection for cars that don't want a coating.

I've been using a lot of Hyper Seal as of late on areas you describe. I believe I've seen Ron mention Leather Protectant may actually protect these areas from UV damage better than even Hyper Seal.

On shiny trim (piano finish) Protectant Plus goes on almost like a lotion and needs to be buffed off, while Hyper Seal is clear.  I think Hyper Seal is more durable and they provide equal UV protection.  Personally I use Protectant Plus on matte plastic (mud flaps/bumper trim) and Hyper Seal on the shiny surfaces (window frames), but there's nothing scientific about my choices.
