Exterior Plastic Trim, Rubber Bits and Faux Chrome:

All exterior plastic trim cleansed with Eshine biodegradable AllPurpose Cleaner. *This stuff really impressed me. I compared it to two other APC during the detail and it won hands down!*

All exterior plastic trim & rubber bits were dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant

Faux Chrome on front grill was cleansed/protected with Duragloss 501



Exterior rubber trim looks clean huh??

Gotta love my Accord in the reflection:

My poor ride got rained on while I was working on the Trailblazer so I decided to add a few pics of the beading waiting for me on my Accord....​

great reflection shots. good job on the detail.



Yeah I wish I could have had some sun shots since I actually finished while it was out ( a rarity these days) but of course the one time I finish at a decent hour it is raining:cry:
