Trim dressing that won't run in rain?

[smprince1]

I have had bad luck with exterior trim dressings running down the side of my vehicle when it rains. I usually apply the products with a foam brush or terry applicator, and then wipe off the excess.

Please recommend the best exterior trim dressing that stays on the trim and not on the paint. The product should be usable on all trim such as window mouldings, bumpers, door handles, truck bed rail caps, rubber seals, plastic (smooth or grained), etc. For tires, I can use something else, I just need 1 product for all the trim.

For Megs, would you recommend?

#38?
#40?
All Season Dressing?
Something else?

I would prefer something that you just wipe on and walk away or at least something you WOWO without having to come back later.

Many thanks!

For your application, the best product we would recommend from our line would be our
M3832 Tire & Trim Dressing Gel



This is very rich conditioning and protecting gel and as long as you don't overuse the product you can easily wipe it on, and then wipe it off and move on.

What about the trim? Do all products "run" if they get wet?

Hey,

The amount a product runs, any product/brand, is based on how well the excess is removed. I always thoroughly wipe down the trim etc with a dedicated MF towel after leaving the dressing sit for about 5minutes or so. This will minimize the product from running in the rain.

You know, I had that problem with #39 and #40. Looked good when you put it on, but when it rained it looked like ****.

But that's BEFORE I had my Ultimate Wipes to dry the excess with. I guess you just gotta get in there and really scrub it off?

Is #38's texture like a gel?

Hey,

Yes, #38 is a gel. I prefer the gel as I leave it sit on the vertical and horizontal surfaces for about 5 minutes before wiping off. On vertical surfaces especially, the gel works fantastic!!!

Hmm, I just might have to try that.
