P21S on trim and molding

Is there any harm in getting P21S on your trim and molding?



I have been using One Grand Blitz Paste wax, but tried out P21S last night. I absolutely love the ease of application. The results seem to be pretty spectacular too, though I haven't had a chance to examine the car under full light yet. I did notice that P21S seems to be very sensitive to "clouding" or "blotching" when applying on hot panels. My car had been sitting for a few hours, it was late in the evening, and the wax was applied when sun was down, and most of the panels went smoothly, but the hood was still warm from the motor, so when removing the P21S, it left a slightly "blotchy" finish. But what I love about P21S is how it made my trim look. It started with a little accidental smudge on the trim, but when I saw what it looked like, I intentionally waxed all my black weather trim. It made it look nice and black, and did not chalk/white up like my Blitz did.
 
I'm about to be a S100 (same as P21s) convert from Blitz as well.



thanks for the tip about the hot panel. Any other tidbits? How long did you let it sit before buffing? Did you only do 1 coat?
 
If applied on a hot panel (from sun, or hot motor), S100 is a bear to remove. It will haze and harden very quickly. A little qd will help with the removal and any remianing hazing I noticed would be gone in a day or so.



You don't need to let S100 haze, just apply to one panel and buff off. I've not layered S100, as it's in question if it even will and it's so easy to apply you can do it almost every time you wash. If you do try to layer it, wait a day or so in between coats to let it cure.

I started my first section and let it start to haze, but it was difficult to remove. After the first section, I just wiped it on and wiped it off, in about 3-4 sq ft sections.
 
When I use S100, I intentionally wax any hard, non-textured black plastic trim . . . never a stain, and it adds a nice lustre to the trim.

How ironic...me too! I have AIO and am getting the SG soon...before the winter I am going to AIO/SG/S100. Blitz is awesome but it stains the trim SO BAD.

No comments on the P21S being applied to the trim?!?

Like Tort, I've intentionally used P21S (and also Souveran, BFII, PUPP, and KSG) on black trim. Worked fine. I don't let it haze, just on-and-off.
