STAY AWAY FROM ARMOR ALL!!!!!! I ran a detail shop for years when I was younger, and we had to restore more plastic trims than I can count from people using armor all. You have to use SILICONE based dressings to properly restore and protect your plastic trim. Armor all will actually cause your plastics to fade and dash boards to crack. The Turtle is decent, but there are professional products available that work even better, Auto Magic is a good manufacturer and there is another supplier that made some stuff we used that was as thick as clear silicone caulk that would last close to 6 months. There is not a dressing on the market that will last a year or more like they advertise. They just don't exist in the real world.

I used Meguiars Ultimate Black and the fender flares held up for 2 months of heavy sunshine. The bed caps still look fantastic. The fender flares are just starting to fade a bit again so I think i'll apply another coat. Its easy enough to apply, takes me all of 5 minutes, so I'm not too irritated by it.

I have been using Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer for really long time, it has always work nice, specially on small long areas like bed and cowls.
I'm in the caribbean with lots of sun and rain, and it last about a month on rainy months, but i used every 15 days to keep it shinning.

I saw a commercial this weekend for a product being sold at Wal-Mart. The guy from Counting Cars on the History channel is the spokes person. Anyone see it? I don't remember the name of it.

my review is mixed
The Wipe New was ok. It did a great job on the windshield cowling, but not so great on the bed rails. See my YouTube review here and see for yourself. Just did it this weekend so no final word on how long it lasts.
