Faded black plastic trim pieces ruin the look of a freshly washed or detailed car. What was once a deep black color fresh off the showroom floor, turns into an old and tired gray, or sometimes even white, color. As with any exterior feature of a vehicle, it’s exposed to all the elements and temperature changes. Unlike the paint work of your car which is protected by clear coat, plastic trim is fully exposed. This makes it prone to fading and oxidizing at some point in the vehicle's life cycle. You could spend countless hours washing and detailing a car,...

There is nothing more frustrating than the sound of bugs hitting your clean windshield, or the sight of the front of your car that’s littered with bug splatter. Worse yet, your windshield wipers do close to nothing to wash away the bugs. If you drive your car often, chances are you’ve encountered insect remains all over the car’s front bumper, side mirrors, headlights and windshield.

When the summer season rolls around, it’s important to make sure you’re properly protecting your vehicle. Regardless...
