Dressing exsessive amounts of trim/cladding

On vehicles such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee which can have about as much cladding as paint--do you have a favorite product to use? Or a specific technique?
 
For large amounts, you need something that's not too expensive (IMO)...



For cladding, etc. I use Poorboys B&B. It's thin, so it spreads evenly and it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg every time you use it...



Temporary, True.



I've actually used Tire Foam on plastic trim... works pretty well!!!:cool:



If you are looking for something more permanent, you could use 303... but $$$$$$$!



A "Dry" alternative would be Zaino Clear Seal. I use it on black plastic cowl molding near the wipers on my Trans Am. Works well and lasts...



But too pricey for all that cladding.....:waxing:

I'm dont sure whats your asking about I think maybe this helps -> Welcome to Trim Shine.com, official site of Trim Shine from Stoner



I was thinking about trying this. Danase has it on sale for $3.95/can. Basically I was wanting something that won't wash away after a few rains/washes and is easy to apply evenly across a large area.

ZCS/OOS



Thanks for the recommendations. I hadn't thought of using OOS for trim.
 
I love the Klasse stuff. I also like Meguiars #38. But to do a huge area I would find something cost effective.



I do have a tip. Use a standard 2"x4" or so kitchen sponge or foam applicator (sponge preferred). WET IT THOROUGHLY. Wring out well, apply product, spread. The wet sponge will enable you to spread thin and more effectively. You use less product and it works great. The damp sponge also molds and conforms to contours and tight spots. You can palm it and spread nice and even over large open areas. Or use your finger tips and press against wheel arch trim or running boards. Also pinching the sponge in the corner helps to conform to the bead molding the runs along some door panels. One long swipe and you cover the whole area. I use it all the time on exterior trim and tires.
