Plastics

Just wondering, do you use anything special on the plastic skirts to keep them looking fresh?

New plastic skirts. I consider them as sacrificial pieces. They're less than $200 a piece and probably a DIY job. Wouldn't be surprised if they weren't designed to be sacrificial.

Put something like PPF on them will likely be more than that for a single piece which at that point makes no financial sense.

Yeah - Paint - sorry couldn't help myself

But I also actually have the painted arches protected with Xpel Ultimate.

There are a ton of plastic restorer/upkeep products out there that can do a decent job but prolonged sun exposure etc will eventually make these parts fade (probably only after many years though).

303 protectant works well plastic bits.

303 protectant works well plastic bits.

Ditto. Restores original looks and provides UV protection.

It's a ceramic coating for plastics. Works very well!

Do these various products leave a sheen on the plastic bits? I'm thinking a gloss finish on parts that are designed to be matte might look a bit odd? Appreciate your thoughts ...
