I know there is a lot of passion about how to care for your trucks and I'm not looking to start a "what's best" war here - just wanted to clear the air on that. I have read a lot of threads on different products to clean/preserve the plastic bits on my F150 but at this point I'm a little overwhelmed. I love my truck and I want to take care of it but I'm not someone who will spend my weekend with a toothbrush & Q-Tips detailing.

So here's what I'm hoping you folks can help me with - for the plastic bits like the fender trim, vent intake in front of the windscreen etc. - what works well without costing a fortune? I have used the basics like Armoral and Son of a Gun (blasphemy here I'm sure) and it really doesn't seem to last more than a week or so. I'll pay more to get something that lasts but the products I see at $25 for 12oz or so should last at least a month or so in my opinion. Is that the case?

I assume that the rubberized trim around the windows may need something different - if so, what is the product? I know that every time I wipe them down, the rag comes away black.

The last thing I want to find a product for is the "B" pillars. These seem to be some sort of in between material and nothing I try seems to bring back the new look or really last anytime at all.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant. It only "looks" expensive but you only need a drop to do the B pillars and most of the window trim. A drop or two will do an entire bed rail cover.

I use it maybe 3 times a year on my F150 but it's a weekend truck, so your mileage may vary.

I have had excellent results with both "looks" and longevity with Carpro Dlux.



Do you have a pic of the B pillars?

Thanks for the response guys. So you would use the product you recommended on all the different plastic/rubber bits (I assume the trim around the windows is some sort of rubber the way it feels)?

Although easy...application is not as consumer friendly as a dressing.
