What about the bumpers and the black part by the side mirrors? Both look like their fading.

^ Check YouTube for Plasti Dip on trim. I saw one video of girl doing her car's windshield wiper trim. Took five minutes. You just have to tape things up around it a bit.

I use Turtle "Black Box" which is a black pigmented wax that does not turn white in scratches making them stand out more but rather stays black.

Great for those stone chips on the bumper.

Next bumper or bumper repaint I'm going to put some clear car wrap on it to protect the paint.

I wash when it gets dirty or every 2 weeks and apply wax perhaps every 2-3 months. I do use the detail spray in between if some areas need some extra shine.

It is so slippery when waxed that not even dust sticks for about a week.

I think I may start doing a claybar yearly as well.

Its great having a 13 year old car that looks like it just came out of the showroom.

Its also great that the surface area is so small that even a full wash and wax will not take more than 90 mins.
