Now when you say plastics and rubbers it's below the door and below the bumper? I think that's the area we use amoral, but if Lexol VinylX doesn't leave that shine, I'm definitely going to purchase a bottle. Now when you buff like the devil, doesn't too much scrubbing wear out the dashboard and the other like surfaces? I did that to my Mazda, but with armoral and I noticed the doors were kinda peeling from it.
VinylX states that that peeling is due to raw silicone oil in the product, they state that its not used and wont do that.
Buff using softest possible towel-I found "finishing towlels" at Walmart, 2 sided cotton tshirts essentiually, so soft it wont do anything to the surface.
Works great on the leather-the best towel-it wont grab on to the seat surface-very smooth.
Buffing the product after is 100% necessary, otherwise it can pool or run, and remain slick.
A good chammy cloth will do, it may absorb a lot of the juice though.
Also tip from here-beware what chammy you use - the looped chammy is best-the particle chammy cloths (cheaper and look fuzzy-no loop)can leave tiny chammy flecks all over and on glass that reflect light.
You use very sparingly always, as it really covers so its ok. They sell these items as wipes in a bottle too, 1 wipe will cover quite a bit. You can review all bottle types and kits of all items together on Amazon.
Beware the bottles they are sort of are greasy even on the shelf in Wmart so shipping is a crap shoot.
(Lexol Leather and Cond is in Wmart.)
-By plastic I mean all black plastic trim outside the car inc roof rail caps, antennae, etc
-all plastic/vinyl inside including dash, doors, console, any non leather.
(doors look like new, may help keep material 'moist' so it wont show white spots of stress from pushing/pulling on door.)
-all rubber seals outside and inside-buff as well-dont leave it on seals thinking it will provide some lubrication during winter-once you are driving air will force it out and it will streak across the door or glass once it leaves the rubber seal area.
- not on the paint or window appliques, if you get it on the car, glass or appliques, wipe off right away.
It wont protect against road grit or rock chips, but will help from water, mud, snow staining-like it will stain for sure but when its time to clean it off - it will all clean off.
...can you tell I clean this car a bit much?....HS never again black...
