So I'm doing a two stage polish and ceramic on my Expedition.

While I was doing the first stage with Chemical Guys cutting polish, I accidentally got some on the black trim at the bottom of the windshield. When I wiped it off that spot looked brand new. So I grabbed a hand polishing pad and did the whole thing. Voila! Looks new!

Keep in mind this is a 2007 Florida vehicle so the plastic was pretty bad.

So I thought hmm maybe it'll do the same for the rear bumper step trim. Here's what it ooked like...

And this is what it looks like now after using the cutting polish on it...

Well the bumper step pad went back to look G about the same. But the windshield trim, and the plastic/rubber around all the windows that I also did with the cutting polish, all looks great.
