In this Florida Sun, I try to use Marine products on the exterior ( UV stuff)

My color is Carbon Metallic BTW

What marine products do you use?

All's you need is a good water filter & a ladder... ( humidity sucks in Fl)

I use "303" for plastic, and just go to a West Marine store for polishes.
I love West Marine!!

Cool. All three of us have carbon gray (aka dark spiral gray if you go shopping for some). Color-sanding and buffing with 3M Perfect-it system can make even a fair paint job look pretty professional.

VRT from Adam's Polishes works great on that plastic trim, too. Lasts for weeks. Even renews those ugly plastic inner fenders.

I wonder what I could use to bring the running boards back to black?
Mine are turning grey.
Thanks!

If I decide to paint myself, is it difficult to remove the roof rails?
I’ve already removed the cross members.
Thanks!

(Running Boards)....... What worries me is making them slippery......

But I do like "Meguiar's Natural Shine" protectant. Non-greasy & UV blocking. It's not as glossy.
I use it on my tires. ( You might try to apply it with an aggressive "dish soap scrub sponge" to maybe cut some of the oxidation)

I have used that before. The scrub sponge is a great idea. I’ll try that.
