These things have a lot if black plastic

[DF5.4]

I washed the Expedition today. When I was done all the plastic trim pieces looked like gray crap. I have the Meguires black trim restorer so I thought now is a good time to try it. It went on easy. The piece I tried looks good. Now I was committed to doing it all. Mirrors, roof rack and crossbars, bumpers. The only thing I didn't use it on is the running boards. I don't want then too slippery. I have some other Meguires trim foam for those.

Agreed! (although I have an advantage in that my EB lower cladding is beige)

I ended up using Turtle Wax trim restorer. It worked pretty good on the roof rack and other dark bits, but the pad on the rear bumper is another story. I'll probably need to do that 4x a year to keep that looking anything but gray!

You could just do the edge of the running boards. leave the step w/o it.
Looks great though. I'd like to see a completed shot

It looks like the Meguires works pretty well.

I just got some 303 Products 30350 Aerospace Protectant recently and I really like the way it works. It may be used on the interior, rubber, etc...

It was recommended by some detail aficionados in a taurus sho forum. So far I have only used it on my sho so the black was far less faded. It also works like sunscreen for your car.

I am unable to find this black side cladding you speak of.

What works really good, and lasts a crazy amount of time. Is that as seen on tv stuff called wipe new!! I used back to black and another trim restorer a couple times on a friends toyota rav4 and it only lasted maybe a month or two max and was all faded and gray again. Spent 20 bucks on one box of this wipe new early last spring and it was amazing. We never redid it again to this day still looks perfect one bottle did a rav4 just fine. I suppose on these trucks you may need 2 bottles.

Must be a big mark up for the Canadians. We picked up a bottle and used it on her mustang. All the black still looks good. Everytime I wash the Expy I think to myself I need to use the Wipe New on it. But the truck never sits long enough for everything to dry.

Let us know how it looks after a good rainfall. I used the back to black on my mirrors, and after it rained, the shit had streaks down the side of the doors.
