Both are spray and walk away but Mothers says 100 washes and Stoner says weeks. So, Mothers would be best for the rest of us who don't wash our car every hour or so.I detail a few cars on the side, I wanted something quick and easy to spruce up black trims. I actually went looking for some of that Stoners but couldn't find any in stock across various outlets. I ended up with a bottle of Mothers Naturally Black.
It's actually a really convenient product to use and is supposed to be "100+ wash durability and protection". This would also be very useful for the honeycomb grill on Mustang's.
I bought them last summer to try on my '16 Interceptor Utility. Speaking only for myself....Bought this last year but haven’t used it yet. Seems similar to some of the products mentioned, anyone use this from Griots ?
If you're just looking to protect it from UV and weather there's tons of products on the market for that. Restoring the faded color and returning it from fade is a different matter. I highly recommend Apex detailing forum. Lots of great detailers that will give you the best recommendations for your situation.off topic car talk...
my jeep wrangler has the hard top and will be parked outside this year in the Arizona elements. i need to clean and prep that top THEN protect it. concerned about the sun destroying it.
which protectant would you folks use?
i have reload on hand and may give that a go to protect me from the incoming AZ Summer. although i have been wanting to try dlux...You can deal with this with a number of products, and it will depend on how bad they present.
I actually really like 303 on trim like this, but it's effect will not last very long owing to it's water based formula.
Another product I like on trim is Carpro Reload. It's effect will not be massively different, just a richer shade of black. This would suit trim already in decent condition and will last 4-6 months.

Carpro DLUX is also a good product to use for trim, it can protect and prevent UV damage or bring back faded trim. This is a longer term solution.

Another option would be Solution Finish. This is a permanent solution to already faded trim.

All of those products leave trim with a matte/satin sheen with no greasy/oily/shininess at all.
If the Hardtop is like this one, I assume that it's "Textured Black" plastic or Paintable Primer?off topic car talk...
