Natural Shine on MINI Cooper exterior plastic?

[rqk]

Can I use Natural Shine on the exterior plastic of my MCS? The reason I ask is that the bottle says not to use it on painted or unpainted plastic. I always thought the outside parts where plastic, but maybe they are some kind of vinyl, so just want to make sure.

Yes, you can use Natural Shine on the black exterior plastic of your Mini. Keep in mind that it is water based and will not hold up as well on exterior surfaces especially in bad weather. Our Gold Class Trim Detailer or Exterior Trim Detailer would be better options for these areas.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did use it on my tires but it was a pain applying with an applicator. Could it be sprayed on? Would it be damaging to clear coated wheels? I'd like to be able to spray it on lightly and then brush it around for consistent coverage.


What type of plastics should this not be applied to? This seams to be a product for interiors, yet there is plastic all over the interior. The warning about not getting it on painted or non-painted plastic makes me stop and think.

+1 on what Brian said.

I won't damage the wheels, but you should wipe it off. Simple as that.

our Mini's got a lot of trim.

personally, i'd use Endurance Gel on the tires.

then for the black trim i use #40 or NXT Protect. nice shine.

Natural Shine i use for interior. one coat. don't like the slick look inside.

If it is real chromed metal (I can't remember what the Mini's have), go with this:
NXT Generation All Metal Polysh

I strongly doubt it is real metal. What should I use then?
