Sure, the bottle may say it works for tires too but this stuff works fine for rubber and plastic trim. I think these guys owning 40+ year old Porsches know what they're doing when it comes to detailing.Originally posted by nosuchsol@Jun 3 2003, 03:52 AM
I don't know if i'd go for a product not made specifically for the plastic trim
of the car. You should go with a product that's made for the task at hand.
The rubber in the tire is different from the plastic trim around windows or
plastics used in the interior. There are plenty of product that are made for
restoring a black finish - that's their only job.
But that doesn't mean it's the right way, or the best way. I'm sure it'llOriginally posted by L337E46@Jun 3 2003, 06:54 AM

Yah - if they are driving around porsches then buying new trim is no biggie.Originally posted by L337E46@Jun 3 2003, 07:14 AM
Most of the guys don't even bother if their plastic pieces arethat faded, they just throw a replacement on and throw the Meguiars on to shine it up for a show. 4 of the PCA car show winners were using Meguiars on their cars, I noticed that some of the plastic and rubber replacements seemed to be brand new either because they're detail freaks or it sits in the garage all of the time. All of the cars I saw were stored in climate controlled garages. Speaking of restoring trim pieces, I talked to a few guys there and most of them just bought new trim pieces as compared to restoring their faded ones.
