I used Turtle Wax Trim Restorer. Worked wonders. Back to Black in the red bottle didn't do anything after 5-7 coats. But the Turtle Wax did incredible!

I concur...after a couple months, the wife's GT still looks great. I put the turtle wax on my truck also and it did a great job compared to Back to Black...

Try using Adams Polishes All Purpose Cleaner and some Super VRT. Works great. The APC will clean the oxidation off and VRT will restore.

I just picked up that Wipe New stuff and tested it on my back glass trim. I will let you know how it goes.

It looks better so far. If you do use it make sure you actually read the instructions, take before pictures and park in the garage or pop the pieces off and do it inside with the windows open.

Sorry for the delay, a couple of months and about 6-8 car cashes still looks good. I applied it to all the black plastic and it looks 10 times better.

My factory all plastic running boards looked like crap now they are way better. So much better that then wheat dusty shoes it leaves marks that I could never see before because it was so faded.

I still need to do the cowl. But I am waiting to find cheaper cowl ends.

Anyone else use Wipe New? I have been contemplating on getting it for my plastic trim, bed, bumpers, etc.. on the truck. Any before and after pictures?
