ACCLERCR Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Going nuts tonight...last new topic posting, I promise... On these areas, what's the best cleaning solution out there? I was told by one person that because of the plastic nature of these 4 areas, they may be prone to turning white over time, if not sprayed with some type of (silicone-based) solution. Also, if I have it garaged and covered, when not at a car show or when driving, what are the chances of this happening over time? I know that this has happened with my truck but that's always outside facing the elements (sun, etc.)... Your feedback please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Meguiars Gold Class car wash to clean the car along with the lower black trim, I would use a seperate wash mitt to clean these as the lower rocker panels can get alot of grim and grit. You do not want to drag this across your paint so I do them last. I use a 2 bucket system and a grit gaurd to help reduce the chance of bringing something back to the car. As for protecting the black trim I use Trim detailer and apply it with a sponge to the lower trim and the aresol spray for the grill. I lightly wipe with a micro fiber towel. This works great for me. Here is a link to these products. http://www.meguiars.com/estore/product_lis...sectionID=16101 Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard 95 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I used turtle wax ice paste on these areas, it works good on plastic pieces, mine turned out fine. But the easy solution is to get them painted. I bought painted rockers, bout to buy painted mirror covers and getting estimate for the exhaust piece to be painted. The front chin spoiler I am leaving black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT2666 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 WHATS A GRIT GUARD? BOB It goes in the bottom of your wash bucket to make sure any grit that rinses off your mitt falls to the bottom and can't recontaminate your mitt. Heres one that Adam's sells Grit Guard.
