Thank you so much. I have a small comment on the cerakote wipes. I love them but... If you are almost done with an area and you need just a tiny bit then you have to open a waste the entire new towel. And because they are super saturated in the beginning they tend to leave a lot of product in the first portion of the application. I'm thinking that I will pair the cerakote as my main treatment and then maintain with the turtle....

You can totally use them on new materials, and as a detailer I would suggest it wholeheartedly. It's a lot easier to do preventative maintenance than try to fix problems later, and these have UV protection, which is the biggest culprit in terms of major finish damage. You wouldn't need a dyed product for new plastics (and might not want one if you enjoy the current look of the material), but any would work. I'd suggest either the 303 or Turtle Wax products if you're experienced with these kinds of applications, personally - depending on whether you want to potentially darken the trim appearance with dye or not - and the Cerakote if you're less experienced or just want a quick-and-easy option.

The trim on my older GMC Canyon truck is a dark GREY. I want a product that restores THAT color, hence the unsuitability of the tinted black TW & SF product. CeraCoat accomplishes exactly what I wanted. After full prep of plastic trim surfaces, I wiped it on WITHOUT a wipedown of first coat, let it dry overnight, then using a new wipe, evenly coated same surfaces again. It dried to a great glossy sheen with a bit of desired darkening......Never tried ANY of the competition; I don't need to with CeraCoat's results like what I obtained.....
