#16 or Aquawax for ext. plastic trim?

[gofastman]

I have both, which one would last longer, its dark grey if that matters

#16 should last longer. Aquawax is a spray sealant, and you should use it over the Megs #16.

I don't think #16 on trim is a good idea. AW doesn't stain trim.

I have only recently popped open my can of #16 which has gone unused for maybe...20 years? But on my RSX it was fine on the textured black trim.

I've *generally* been successful using #16 on trim but only when I employed a semi-W-O-W-O approach. Leaving excess wax *can* cause white staining (not as bad as with many other LSPs, but still...) and some trim simply stained, period. I dunno...there are better choices for use on trim IMO, much as I like #16.



If you want to try it, pick an inconspicuous test area and be careful to *NOT* apply too much. Really work it in and then immediately buff it off.



Besides the AW (which I've yet to try), Collinite 845 comes to mind, and their 476S stains less frequently than #16 (I even used the latter on the black plastic and rubber trim of the Volvo wagon I used to have).

Nobody uses 303? I know it probably doesn't last as long but sure looks nice on plastic trim..
