On plastic?

Yup, they make coatings for plastic. I’ve used 22ple coatings with great results. Keeps plastic black for roughly 12-18 months. Really depends on the climate.

Mequrias is supposed to last 100 washes. I applied it to my Avalanche. It looks good, time will tell.

The 303 does it leave a glossy film like armor all would? I normally use a leather conditioner insidethe truck I don’t want it to leave any reside or get that shiny look?

Hard plastics will have a shoe shine affect, no residue. It’s awesome stuff and is actually absorbed into the rubber and plastics.

That’s what I am looking for I have not used anything yet for the plastics as I don’t want that shiny look. I use to use eagle one trim gel back in the day on my older cars but it was messy and would leave streaks after a rain. I just want to basically protect the plastics.

Agreed, it’ll last on trim but mostly depends on weather and solvents in the car wash. The interior shine seems to last forever, just wipe down and looks great, not like oil shine, more like something dried on it forming a UV shield. Most important is the UV protection, ArmorAll is not good for rubbers as it’s been known to dry rot tires, silicone is better but love my 303 and my ACF50 corrosion preventative for the underbelly and suspension.
