Prep trim for AIO

I was reading on this thread and others that people are using Klasse AIO and SG on exterior trim with good results.



I am interested in trying that out this weekend, because Mother's B2B runs in the rain, dosen't last too long, etc. The problem is that I just treated everything yesterday. Should I scrub the trim with Dawn or shampoo, or is the AIO abrasive enough to remove the B2B? Don't really want to wash if I don't have to.



Thanks.
 
I would use alcohol or a glass cleaner with a lot of ether or alcohol to clean the B2B off and then AIO. AIO has some pretty good cleaners in it, but I wonder if the freshly applied B2B might overwhelm it.
 
What 2wheelsx2 said :xyxthumbs I'd work pretty hard to get the trim as clean as you can BEFORE using the AIO. If you have a life ;) maybe just wait until the vehicle really needs washed. After the next rain you'd want to clean it up anyhow since the B2B will run, etc. I agree that a full wash just to try something on your trim sounds a little unreasonable. Oh, are we SUPPOSED to be unreasonable about detailing? Sorry, I keep forgetting :o
 
I have tried Klasse AIO on my trims.. works OK but I like 303 Aerospace Protectant a lot better... It weill give you that shine plus UV protection for your rubber trims.

Yep, this is a real case of "to each their own". Actually, I sorta like BF/PUPP on trim the best, but on vehicles I SG I just do that. I'm sure not gonna knock people who choose to stick with the ERV dressing route, especially 303!
 
Interesting comments about the 303 ... I had tried some on my plastic fender flares earlier, and it seemed to be very subtle and short-lived.



But as I was going to wash today, when I saw that the recent B2B application had held up pretty well, I decided to go over it with 303 to add some UV protection. It looks real nice right now, but I will be interested to see how long this combo lasts.



I am still intrigued by the thought of being able to do body and trim at the same time with AIO+SG or BF ...
