what are you using on the black body trim to keep it nice? (2012)

After I finish the waxing the sheet metal with Turtle Wax Ice, I just continue on and do the plastic.

I have had good luck with 303 Protectant on all the plastic, rubber and vinyl parts through the years.

+1. My 2006 CRV's black bumpers, trim & vinyl spare tire cover look great because of 303. I plan to use it on my 2012. I also use in on my motorcycles and the vinyl cover on my outdoor hot tub. Good stuff.

does 303 have silicon in it?

does 303 have silicon in it?

I'm not positive, but I don't believe so. 303 markets itself as a better alternative to "silicon protectants"/

They do, but they have silicone compounds in them anyway.

I use Meguiars Ultimate Interior Protectant (not the spray type). It's long lasting keeping plastic trims black and doesn't leave an oily residue and not so shiny.

Trust me guys, this is the best stuff I have ever used... the downside is it sprays on, which means you will get particles on unwanted areas. What I do is use this FIRST, then was the rest of the car...

Aerospace 303 - Good stuff. Easy to apply, looks great and lasts.
Added benefit of being versatile for other usage. Door seals, dashboard leather seats.
Leaves the dashboard with the perfect clean textured look that isn't too shiny.
Am I gushing?
Gave Mother's Back to Black a try. OK but harder to apply, has only 1 use and didn't look nearly as good. Don't spend your money.
No comparison. 303 is the better product.
