On my car, Hyundai Kona Electric, there is rather much trim.
It seemed somewhat painted, but now shows grey wax residue after a couple of week.
Waxed/sealed surfaced are so much easyer to wash and maintain.
Which products do you recommend me to seal black and grey trim?
hi, That is a fair amount of grey trim. I dont know if it is a painted plastic as dont think I've ever seen one over in the UK. If you can do it and want to make life easier so your not having to keep re-treating the trim could you go down the route of a coating? Gtechniq C4 or similar?
But C4 is a "restorer". This is a brand new car.
And I don't want the grey trim looking black. Will the C4 darken the grey towards black?
The problem with the trim on this car is it being grey and "semi painted"
It has a slight gloss or satin look to it. Not closing the pores all the way, but nearly. So when inital waxing it, they looked great. Several weeks later the grey waxiness pops out and it looks rather bad.
(Had a go with APC and magic sponge last night to get rid of it. Hope it stays away.)
I have used Koch Chemie Nano Magic Plastcare to good effect on the black plastic around the exhaust area, but if the trim is discoloured or badly stained and you want to blacken it again then solution finish may be the answer. https://www.shopnshine.co.uk/solution-finish
