What brand of trim do you use to keep your trim clean and black. My '13 is already starting to show fading! Stuff I used to use never really lasted so I thought I would ask here and see what else is out there that people like. I would prefer something that doesn't dye your trim black or something that has to be reapplied weekly.

I use 303 aerospace protectant on fenders, tires, and interior plastics... If that's what you mean. It gives a rich black look and isn't sticky or greasy to attract dust or sling from the tire to the body. It is expensive, and it doesn't hold up to much rain.

I've been using the new product from ArmorAll and have had good luck so far. I'm sure the longevity depends on weather but we have had lots of rain and it has held up to that plus a couple of washes.

The Armor All product looks interesting. Hafta try some.

Best stuff I've used so far is Bumper Gelle from Mark V products in Corona, CA. Its a professional product that comes from the same folks who make Mothers products.

The best part: I stopped in Corona to buy the Gelle while driving my 38 foot coach with the JK in tow. There was room to park the coach and a place to turn it around at the end of the block. Win!!

Jet black by turtle wax turned my super faded fenders like new again 5 days so far still good. It's like a die for plastic.

I just used the OUTLAST stuff from Armor All - its too early to tell but it seems sticky, like its gonna attract dust.

I was using ArmorAll Tire Shine Gel before they came out w/ the OutLast stuff - the Tire Gel worked but I noticed it attracted dust & didn't last very long.

The Armor All Outlast is the best one I've tried so far. That stuff is awesome!
