Exterior Trim Restoration

[Table-RockinIt]

Hi All! Hoping to get some feedback regarding your experience with the seemingly endless options for exterior trim restoration products out there. My 99 has SO MUCH trim to take care of!!! So when I do it soon, I want it to last as long as possible. My baby has no garage to sleep in so it gets all weather/all the time. I'm seeing recommendations online but haven't seen anything specifically mentioned by this model year/age range.

Anyone want to comment your recommendations or good/bad experiences with products? I'm not exactly a novice but not a professional detailer by any means. I clean the shit out of this thing and keep it as purdy as I possibly can as it is my daily driver. The fading of the trim is my peeve right now and I'm feeling stressed over what to use. Because as I said above, there's a LOT of trim and I don't want to screw it up or have to try an undo a ****** result. Thanks in advance!

Nice looking rig! Back to black is good stuff for faded black plastic, but you do need to reapply after washing. I ceramic coated the white burb, that seems to be doing well but its only been a year. On the 99 burb I used Nu Finish twice a year and the paint looks fresh to this day. I used nu finish on the hard plastic trim but on the door handles the back to black was my go to.

I used this stuff on the wife's Avalanche. Been over a year and still black so it does last a long time.
It's as close to paint as you can get without it being actual paint, i think.
