Aslo, whats everyone doing for the faded plastic peices inbetween the hood and front windshield? Ive been using Driven, which works great for a week or two but dies off.
i need to get some of this -ish on my front valence bumper, grill, bed rim liner, and in between the hood and windsheild, as well as the trim around the rear window, what is the best stuff for that? i have a friend who swears by back to black. i just need something that works, lasts, and wont damage paint, and that can get into tricky areas like the grille and the vents in front of the windsheild

All I can say is that with all the paint problems I've had with GM (chevy) that I'll never buy another GM product...the way the company stand, perhaps nobody will ever have to.

If you are wondering how Mother's Back to Black works, checkout these pictures.

Best product I have used for the all the plastic is Ice Liquid Wax, it lasts longer than Back to Black. My Son applied it to his truck, and when his Mom looked at his truck, she yelled at him for buying all new plastic trim on his truck.(lol)

Default Trim Dye

Has anyone tried the trim reconditioning dye from griots garage? Link below.
Hoping to get some feedback before trying it. I am very happy with their paint clay, speed shine, etc.
