Shadowline side skirts clean up

OF Hero · 03-26-2022, 09:14 PM

Wish I got these pieces PPF'd (and I still might), but I can see that even in just a few weeks of ownership that these are going to be a pain to maintain.

What are you using to help with stubborn water spots and other blemishes that don't come out after a typical wash?

Chemical guys makes spot remover and for something more aggressive, claybar will work

Ppf will solve your problems long term

PPF all black trim. I think this is a must on our cars unless your not overly picky.

I PPF'd the gloss black trim, as the rocker panel pieces are scuff magnets for careless feet.

Separately, CarPro Spotless works incredibly well for easily removing hard water spots (and leaving no residue).

Any idea if it is safe to use if the car is ceramic coated and then got water spots?

Take it get it PPF'ed immediately. The installer will get the water spots out and install the protection. I am so glad I got all my gloss black stuff done. So so so worth it!

Absolutely! (I know from firsthand experience.). Depending on how extensive the water spotting is, you can either spray it on and wipe off, or spray on a microfiber and gently wipe away. For established spots, let the product dwell a few minutes.

I got mine done too. This car holds water everywhere and when you think it's completely dry, water still tricks down of course right on the side rockers.

Awesome, will have to order some.

Just to double check, is this the right one?
