What is recommended for dressing rubber and plastic parts located on the exterior of the vehicle?
I also have a "Undercover" bed cover that is a composite material. McGuires has something similar to "Armor All" and is listed for inside and outside.
My biggest concern is the bed cover. But the rubber visible on each side of windshield could use some attention. Mirrors etc........
Another place is the base of the radio antenna on the hood "regular" radio. It is almost gray instead of black. It used to be black? I think?
I have no garage or carport. So these things are getting faded. I want to dress these ares after the next wash.

Try this stuff. Best I have ever found.

Thanks Jay. Seems like shipping might be more than the product itself. I did not run it through to see how much the shipping will be.
Can this be purchased from a distributor? Do any of the chain stores stock it? Do you think 8oz is enough to give it a good try out? Do you spray it directly on the surface or do you soak a rag with it? (that's what I do). It looks to be exactly like what I want and need.
Clear plastic is another thumbs up. I guess it's good on headlights? Dash radio and clear plastic inside?

 

303 is great stuff! Also you can try Fukken Wax? I ended up painting my antenna base to color match and it still looks good 6 months later. Bought a new antenna base for $.97 I believe. It was under $1 for sure from the dealer.

 

I agree their shipping is a little high, but I wait till I need to order some other things and then try to get everything at the same time. I use it on everything--tires, interior plastic parts and other molded stuff. I usually put it on a rag and then apply instead of spraying it. I usually get the larger size, that way it lasts a little longer. You may want to look and some of their other products and see if there is anything else you might want to help with the shipping--I use their Wolfgand 3.0 sealant and the Collinite 845 for the paint--they are a couple of pretty great products but I don't think you can find them at a big box store or a parts store. Autogeek sells mostly detailer products to professionals and a few wanna be's like me. LOL

Thanks gentlemen. I found 303 at our local marina. Better price than internet and I did use the dealer locator linked above. Now, I just need to go outside and wash and dry the truck and apply.
I hope it does not leave any drip marks on the bed outer walls.
It says its good for clear plastics? I guess headlights, puddle lights outside?

 

For general exterior (and interior) faded blacks I have found "Mothers Back to Black" much better and longer lasting than any of the ArmorAll products with the additional benefit of a non-slick surface. Great for Nerf Bar steps, antenna base, rubber weather stripping, rear bumper step pad, etc. Available at most auto parts stores. Also works great under-hood on hoses, shrouds, etc. Start with a slightly dampened cloth, apply the product to the cloth, then wipe onto your intended surface.

For tires, I prefer the tire dressing sold by Griots catalog. The key of course is to start with clean tires, which sometimes calls for pressure-washing, then apply very sparingly. Put a little on the sponge and make it go as far as you can before applying more. You want 'em black as new without the "wet" look of ArmorAll.

Mothers BACK TO BLACK gets my vote.

 

I picked up an 8oz "Back to Black" yesterday. Will try it out next wash. Thanks.
