Todd, thanks for your imput on these various topics. I will try the plastic polish as is seems that tail and head lights seem to get neglected during the process. Can you add one more item to the board regarding treatment of rubber/or plastic panels. I have found some cars (the new issuzu is a good example) have some kind of material other than metal all over the body. I'm not sure exactly what to use. I have tried using vinyl/leather conditioner which seems to work. I would hate to have it fade later on after a customer leaves. If you could try to clarify some of the various protectants/tire>leather>solvent based? non-solvent based> Thanks turboman..oh, and how do you know if say a molding is plastic or a hard rubber?
