Are any of the products here (other than the shampoo) made for cleaning/protecting exterior plastic? Thinking of the lower trim, &amp; grill of the subi

Doesn't really look like it. Just buy Armor All Trim and Plastic Restorer. Restores plastic, vinyl, and rubber trim. Helps prevent fading, discoloration and oxidation. Helps prevent damage caused by UV Rays. With a detailer or wax, applicator, and Microfiber towel, you should be set. Or buy the complete kit, some should work. I once detailed our show car with our Armor All vinyl protectant by mistake and it really looked good. Won best of show. Hope this helped.

Sorry, never used it for that. I use it for all interior plastic/vinyl, and just started trying it out on the tires.I bet you can get it cheaper at WalMart though....

I haven't tried that. This product is a powder, kind of like barkeepers friend, comet, baking soda, etc. It's a mild abrasive, a polish, and there are polishes specifically for buffing cars etc, I'd probably go with an automotive product just to be sure.

I would be careful. It's pretty strong stuff, and I noticed it has removed stain on wood when there was a clear coat over it, so obviously it went through the finish. I would never use it on the exterior of any vehicle. Better safe than sorry. You might want to use something like fiberglass magic if they sell it still and if not, a power washer.

You might get better results using Mothers Tire Shine type product. The wax will leave a film on the plastic like dirt. Years ago,Armour All came out and was great for the trim as well. Mothers products seem to have developed that type of product a little better. It is better to almost soak a rag with the product and wipe the trim with it. A few coats every week and see what you think. Just make sure the trim is real clean. Perhaps to wax the car first,and do the trim last. Hoping you like the results!

In general i would say no. What I use for my classic cars for rear convertible plastic window and instrument bezel is Plexus. http://www.amazon.com/Plexus-PLEXUS-POLISH-13-OZ/dp/B0045S91W6/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1399220355&sr=8-7&keywords=plexus+plastic+cleaner

One of my cars has a clearcoat finish and I use Mother's car wash liquid on it with no negative results. It's a good soap product, not nearly as abrasive or chemical-laden as many others on the market for a few dollars less.

I would use dawn dish soap before I bought this again. Out of a large handful of products like this imo the best was a drizzle of dawn dish soap buffed into the visor. You may have to rebuff it often but it works great and is Way more affordable.

I use it for auto glass not for plastic. There are cleaners used for auto plastic.

Hello....I use this on our white 128i and it looks superb (I apply this every other day or so to a car that receives an extensive detail - from me - about twice a year. This keeps most of the surface contaminants from building up. It is excellent on anodized clear-coated wheels as well). Our BMW is five years old and it looks like the day it was delivered. This is a great basic detailer to keep on hand. Thanks

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but would highly suggest you check the GE Advantium literature to see what would be the best product to use. The Howard stainless steel cleaner is meant for the exterior, so from that aspect it would seem that it is not best for interior cleaning.

I have found that cleaning while the grill is warm and then giving it a liberal spray with aerosol Olive Oil (I prefer this to Pam or other coatings) keeps mine rust free. I keep mine outside in a larger grill with a cover and so far, it hasn't developed any rust. I get the generic spray olive oil locally for like 2.00 a can and a can lasts for a while. I am going to use this method instead of the painting method. Just a personal preference.

No, I believe the stuff made specifically for that purpose will be the best.This is great as an after wash detailer, on a car with a wax job, it will keep it"waxed" and slick for an extended period of time. It is a great product for that use.

I have not used it for that purpose. There are many excellent automotive products made just for what you need. I would look in the automotive detailing dept of your favorite auto store.

I would use rubber undercoating here on Amazon or at the auto parts store. Very inexpensive, dense product. Been using for years on sinks, works better than these expando-foams.

I used Plasticoat for undercoating on the inner fenders and the bottom of my 50 Studebaker. It has more "plasticity" than undercoating, it is seemingly more durable. I personally think it has better adhesion than undercoating. I am going to do my rocker panel bottoms, the little strip that is below the chrome panel shortly. This does not have a "finished" look about it but it does look fairly decent as a trunk interior or for the bottom of the rocker panels. Do apply several coats for a good finish if you plan to use it on your nerf bars.....they should look pretty decent.

Windex, BarKeepers Friend, or Ceramabrite all work great. Ceramabrite seems to last longer than the others. Probably the wax coating it leaves behind.
