Everyone;

I'm putting my 1987 T2 back into shape, and wondered what you use for protecting the vinyl and plastic parts?

STP Son of a Gun?

Armor-all?

What do you think is the best stuff to make it look good again?

Thanks!

black magic the kind that goes on like wax or meguairs has some stuff made just for plastic and so does mothers

 

I have used Armor-All and it works pretty good. Not too expensive either. I got the cleaning and protector wipes all in once package at Wal-Mart. Price paid was about $5

 

i think its the turtle wax brand, finish 2000(?) or something like that?

 

armor all worked hella good for me. I just cant get the crack between the windshield and the dash

 

crack? If it's cracked no chemical will fix it.

 

i think he means just the lil section butted up right next to the window, his rag can't reach it...

 

I like the newest Meguiar's product. I think it is called "Shine" for vinyl and plastic. It is thicker than Armor All, so it is easier to apply, and it really brings back the shine to faded plastic and vinyl!

Good luck

 

I think Armor All wipes are ok. You'll need to wipe them down on occassion to restore the fresh look since it will fade again after a while. For me, its about 2 weeks for my sunbaked dash on my TII but when I had my SE, it was about a month.

I think I'll try some Meguiar's.

 

Son of a gun has sunscreen in it. It will offer better protection from the sun than many of the others.

 

You need to try "Trim Shine" made by Stoner. It comes in an aerosol spray can. I used it 3 (THREE) months ago on my door panels, center console and entire dash, made it look showroom new. I haven't had to use it again.

 

i would not advise on using armor all. that product has been known to crack plastic. armor all has also been known to eat away at the chrome guages around the FD guage cluster.
