My wifes daily driver is a 2008 Honda CRV. I am looking for a quick and easy LSP type product that I can use on the entire exterior, paint, plastic and all. Not tires obviously but it just has so darn much plastic! I am not breaking out the DA or anything else on this one, just want to add protection. So, what would you use?

On the plastic trim and all? If so that is great as I am looking for a product that works well on both.

Yeah, I use 845 on black plastic trim (even the textured stuff) and even on exterior *rubber* trim.



You don't want to put it on extra-thick or anything, but as long as you're remotely reasonable about it I can't forsee a problem. Never caused issues for me, and my niece-in-law has continued doing it on the old Volvo wagon I gave her (lots of exterior plastic and rubber trim on that one).



When I say to not put it on too thick, I just mean don't use sooo much that you fill in the texture on the trim or anything like that. I will say that *I* would encourage you to do a quickie with KAIO first though ;) Just a W-O-W-O the whole thing (trim and all) with the KAIO, a true "quickie" as in literally a few minutes worth of work, then LSP with the 845, then redo the 845 every now and then.

Thanks. What is the motivation for hitting it with KAIO first?

It'd do a little bit of cleaning and I'd *really* rather do that (rather than not) before going with any non-cleaning LSP. I just think it'd cut down on the chance of some weird "oh [crap], what's going on there?!?" type issue cropping up, like from some unknown/unseen contamination. I'd rather waste the time (if the KAIO wasn't really necessary) than risk spending more time dealing with some unforeseen issue that the KAIO woulda taken care of. There are probably a scad of different products that'd be at least as good, but the KAIO is what comes to mind for an easy recommendation.
 
Thanks! You brought up two products that I was thinking about so they are on order! Actually, I will use these on the wifes CRV, sons Altima and daughters J30 this summer. If you ever leave NE Ohio and come down to Columbus, buy you a beer.
