Please tell me where you got that from. That is exactly what I've been looking for since I bought my 2011 a couple years ago. I need one that covers the EDGE of the rear bumper, something the OEM protector doesn't cover. The edge of my rear bumper is all scuffed up from my dealer (of all people) lifting my tires in and out when I had them do the all-season/winter tire change-over. The paint is completely gone right on the corner, they scuffed it right down to the bare plastic (fiberglass, whatever it is). They swore up and down they didn't do that, but I know it wasn't like that when I took it in.

Spray 9 (or any other multi-cleaner) and a toothbrush does it for me. Of course you'll need to put some sort of restoration product on the trim to bring it back to life afterwards. (And get that Spray 9 overspray off any paint ASAP.) This is why I greatly prefer wash soap WITHOUT wax in it. Because if the textured trim has wax on it that you cannot see (eq. you've used a wax that doesn't stain trim) wash'n'wax soap will magically make it appear!

I absolutely love the Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax. True to its name, it just melts into the paint like butter. And it lasts somewhat longer than a lot of the other (i.e. more expensive) waxes I've used over the years. When done right, and with a little elbow grease, I can spray the hose on the hood and all the water just falls right off and it's dry to the touch. For wash soap, I avoid anything that has wax it. It messes up the black trim. No sense buying expensive stuff when it's all in how you wash it. Usually I make do with the cheap Simoniz/Turtle Wax stuff I pick up on sale at Canadian Tire. Meguiars makes a nice wax-free wash soap, Sonax does too, and so does Chemical Guys (Mr. Pink.) but their regular price is too much for me. Tires I just use Spray 9 and whatever wash soap I have left in the bucket and scrub the hell out of them with a brush. Then I use the Chemical Guys Silk Shine on a microfibre cloth. I don't like the glossy/wet look on tires, and Silk Shine has a nice matte finish that usually lasts a pretty long time. I'm not normally a fan of those spray-on-and-leave tire cleaners/dressing, but that Black Magic stuff you see at Walmart is pretty good stuff to use if you just want a quick matte finish. Interior I like the Mothers leather cleaner/protector. It seems to be the least-greasy of all the ones I've tried and is reasonably priced. It also seems to be the longest lasting as the leather will squeak as you sit down for a couple months after cleaning. Dash cleaner I like the Sonax brand. It has a nice matte finish and lasts a very long time before it starts to look dull again.
