[QUOTE="AdamsPolishes, post: 1165950, member: 10587"] Yes, I was referring to [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/waxing-and-glazing/adam-s-liquid-paint-sealant.html"]Paint Sealant[/URL]. I applies just like a liquid wax, but it is actually a synthetic sealant that provides up to 6 months protection. Most waxes or sealants will stain plastic trim with white residue. Buttery Wax is one of the few that do not. The Paint Sealant will leave residue stains on the trim, and you have to be careful, because the hazing when it is first applied is dark gray in color, which makes it look fine on the plastic trim, but the residue will dry out and turn white-ish. Using [URL="http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/wheels-tires/adam-s-super-vrt-tire-trim-dressing.html"]VRT[/URL] on the trim before waxing is helpful, since it hydrants the plastic and keeps the wax or sealant from soaking it, but you still need to be careful not to get the wax or sealant on the trim, as it can still leave residue, especially on trim that is older and dried out.
