    Default Any Thoughts On What Protectant For Dull Gray Plastic Parts?

    Just curious what to use to prevent drying/fading/cracking.

    I recently used this https://www.wipenew.com/ on my car and am very pleased. Seems to last a long time unlike some others I have tried. Puts a nice finish on those black plastic bits. 6 months and still good.

    It sounds familiar. I think they mentioned it when we got our new RV, using it on the slide-out gaskets.

    Jetfixer recommended 303 to me and he was right. This stuff is very good.

    Either works very well. The blue bottle is easier to come by in my area so I use it. It has kept the tonneau cover on my two year old truck looking like new and it sees a lot of weather. Works even better on the non painted parts of my Spyder RT.

    I also use the white bottle of 303. Works great and has UV protection.

    I have started using Topcoat F11, and so far have been happy with it. Seems to last longer than others I have tried.
