2018 Mustang GT PP1 splitter and side rails

[ivantwilliams]

I have a 2018 Mustang GT PP1. MY car has the XPEL film and ceramic on it. I wash my car fortnightly, with CarPro reset, due to the XPEL film. But, I was curious about some cleaning materials.

For the front splitter and side rails, those dark grey plastic parts, what is the 'best' product to use to give them a little shine, to reinvigorate them?

Thanks all
Ivan

I was thinking you could use something like "Back to Black". The only problem is it doesn't really last that long. I'm still deciding if I want to get rid of the gray plastic and go with either a gloss black or Carbon Fiber. I'm interesting in what is suggested.

I guess this, "303 Multi-Surface Cleaner", would suffice, too, no?

There a couple of ways to tackle these unpainted trims.

I have seen them Ceramic coated, something like CarPro Dlux https://carpro.global/catalog/cquartz-dlux/



I have also used CarPro Reload, this UV protects as well as adding depth to the look.

Untreated on the left, treated on the right.

But my favorite is 303 Aerospace Protectant. This product provides UV protection and leaves a nice matte appearance. Being water based, I apply this after each wash. CarPro Perl is a similar product that also works well but I prefer the ease of application of 303.

Depending on how long you want each application to last will determine which path to take. I like the process of applying at each wash so the 303 is my choice.

The 303 Multi-Surface Cleaner could be used to remove any other product residue before coating with 303 or similar.

This is good information; thanks.
I merely would like it to last about a fortnight, i.e. till my next car wash. Doesn't need to be a month.

303 should be good then.
