Hi babyt,

This thread is about treating surfaces that there is no product really for the surfaces being treated.

Your question would be better if you posted your own "Dedicated Thread" instead of tagging onto a non-related thread.

The question is... does any topical dressing last on a surface that doesn't absorb.

Plastic trim doesn't absorb so most dressings you apply will be topical and if it rains or you wash the car, unless the product you apply is water-insoluble or cures hard to the surface, it's not going to last.

Buy them both and do a side-by-side comparison on the same piece of trim and then make you or judgment.


Since most people don't start new threads here's another option for you and all the people that will read this into the future.

New Product for 2010!
Ultimate Protectant



Note, as I pointed out in the beginning of this thread, this thread isn't about using dressings on surfaces dressings are meant to be used on, but on surfaces there are no product for.

At the time and day I'm posting this I've never used this new product on the components and surface materials addressed in this thread so keep this in mind.

Seriously, your question would be much better if you "started your own thread". If you're new to discussion forums, on the bottom of the forum homepage there's instructions and pictures on how to start your own thread, I've copied and pasted them here.

Wow, that was a pretty big difference. I thought it looked great before the application...

does anyone knows if I should use the trim detailer for the plastic that is between the door window and the rear small window of the 350Z?

GCTD works great but does run in the rain in my experience. Then again - what dressing doesn't?
UP however is said to solve all that. Can't wait to try it as soon as it becomes available here...

It's been a while since I've read through this entire thread but I think I bring up the point about how plastic doesn't absorb very well so for the most part dressings applied to plastic are more or less just topical and you need to wipe off any excess.
