Shinning up wood trim?

chemgeek · 01-04-2010, 06:37 PM

What do people use to shine up the wood trim pieces if they are dull?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can use a non-abrasive polish on it such as Klasse AIO. I read a thread on here where someone used AIO to remove scratches and shine it up. I plan to try Jeff's Werkstat Prime on it come spring time.

I find 303 Aerospace cleans up the wood trim very nicely. You could use some AIO or QD on it too if you wanted.

Aside from that, Swissvax offers a specific wood trim polish/wax: http://www.detailersdomain.com/swissvax-woodpolish.aspx

I did a little polish and then waxed the trim. The wax really made it slick and shiny!

I wax mine. It's clear coated, just like your paint is. Klasse AIO will be fine on it.

I've had some swirls and scuffs on my trim and actually taped off the black trim parts and used my PC on it with M205 and finished it off with Klasse AIO. As others have said, it's clearcoated.
