I'll let the cat out of the bag use 303 Aerospace Protectant . Plastics look new and will last longer. I've used it for the last seven + years. This is the best stuff.

303 is THE LEADER in UV Screening Technology. 303 Aerospace Protectant really is like "SPF 40 Sunscreen ... For Your Stuff." Regular use gives 100% Prevention of UV caused slow-fade with regular use. No other "protectant" beautifies as intensely, protects as powerfully or lasts as long.

The World's Most Manufacturer-Recommended Product:
Because of its enduring cosmetic properties, the resistance of 303-treated surfaces to dust, soiling, and staining, its water repellency and unparalleled protective characteristics, manufacturers worldwide recommend 303 Aerospace Protectant.
303 Aerospace Protectant keeps UV-sensitive materials "like new" year after year.

Use on Rubber: Tires, neoprene, latex, door and trunk seals, weather-stripping, EPDM rubber roofs, CV boots, waders, wet suits. Vinyl: Convertible tops (and the clear vinyl windows), isinglass, marine seating, tonneau covers, car bras, covers, spa covers, pool covers. Inflatable boats: Hypalon, PVC and urethane blends. Gelcoat fiberglass: Boats, RV's, snowmobiles, jet ski's. Plastics, acrylics, polycarbonates: Lexan? and acrylic panels, windows, , windshields, covers. Carbon-fiber/resin composites: Fishing rods, "nude" bike frames. Finished leather: Upholstery, motorcycle leather, trim, tack, fine apparel. Pool & Patio: Plastic furniture (not fabric), pool inflatables, slides, covers. Sailcloth: Dacron? and monofilm.

I hear it also makes a great personal lubricant. Not to mention high in protein, low in carb and fat.

I just used tire shine last weekend. So far it still looks great but greasy to the touch.

You know it sucks that we spend this kind of money for a quality vehicle and then get stuck with crappy plastic trim that requires heavy applications of goo to look decent.

I can think of a half dozen, old, cheap cars with no trim problems but nearly every H2 that sees the light of day has some worsening degree of trim fade.

Thanks, I'll have to try that. I'm kinda lery of trying the TS-1 after reading the post above, however I am more wanting to go with this first.
