Does #16 stain trim?

If it really stains easily then instead of trying to be careful I'd rather tape it off. Any quick answer of how it reacts to black semi porous trim?
 
I don't really have any black plastic trim on my cars, 'cept the Nissan. While I've never intentionally put it on trim, I've never noticed it to stain anything. It doesn't stain any of the rubber molding or anything. I think being careful would probably suffice. :)
 
No staining for me either. I've even used Meg's #16 on trim intentionally. No problems, but I *do* recommend a sorta w-o-w-o method rather than letting it set up too long. On plastic trim I usually use AIO on the trim first and I'll often get some SG on there too. For soft rubber I'll usually just clean it with Griot's Rubber Cleaner but I'll sometimes precede the #16 with some *very gently applied* AIO.



I even tried it on the Volvo's rubber bumper covers and rubber/plastic side-view mirrors :eek: it worked fine. I've done this kinda thing with Collinite 486S and Souveran too.
 
The first couple of times I used #16 I taped and was extremely careful around any plastic because I figured that it, as such an old-time formulation, would stain trim to death. I was actually quite pleasantly suprised the first time I didn't tape, even if you leave it there for a while it will just dust/flake right off.
 
Nope, nothin. Just did two coats of it yesterday, was rather careless round the trim too, bubkis. Get a little greasy residue, but it easily wipes off with a towel.
