Trim & Molding Care
The very word "Trim" is often associated with a general state of neatness. For instance, we may describe something as being trim and proper or we may go to the barber for a trim. This association has been carried over to the automotive world, and the trim of any vehicle is the final statement in overall presentation. Most trim and molding is made of vinyl or rubber, and can dry out or crack without simple maintenance. Instead of replacing your moldings or allowing them to fray at the edges, look below to unveil the secrets of proper trim care.
Schedule a Routine
Although plastics are rugged by design, they are still susceptible to fading. High heat and humidity can contribute to the premature cracking and peeling of your moldings. If you notice discoloration or spots in the plastic, you can attribute it to surface contaminants or mildew. Though most drivers can expect to clean their molding once every two months to keep them safe, the intense Floridian climate here at Superior has most of us scrambling to protect our moldings monthly. Location notwithstanding, you should add a trim care session to one of your weekly car washings to keep them safe from the irritating damage that can befall them.
