omg yes. it's a miracle product that i just can't get enough of and i should totally get paid what with the amount of times that i have endorsed it, lol. I use it on the following exterior parts with amazing results......lightbar, top tupperware, door handles, side mirrors, antenna cover, license plate holder, rear glass covers, exterior dash plastic & wipers. Fyi if your plastic is really sunburnt or faded, then you'll have to reapply a 2nd time a few days later. just be careful not to get any of it on the paint only because it's a real pita to get off!

Anyone know how to remove the wiper arms on the KJ? I'd love to give mine some touch up.

I put newspaper underneath them and spray painted them gloss black while still on Jeep.

if you're talking about your light bar, use a heat gun. it lasts longer, and once you have the heat gun, you never pay for it again;)

loosen the bolt holding the arm in but dont take it all the way off. Leave it threaded on some.

Take a pair of channel locks and use the nut to pop the arm off. Ive got pics somewhere if you cant see that in your mind.

Personally Ive tried those trim dressings and they just dont last long enough.

Ive found that meguiars Hot Tire Shine Gel works awesome. At first they are a little too shiney but it wears off to gives a nice, matt finish. :)
