I've had good luck with Hi-Temp's Bumper Renew on the large amount of trim on the Honda CR-V, which I'm guessing would be a similar material to that on the Element. Don't forget to clean the trim before dressing.
No I need to ride by and look at it again since I did it back in the winter. If it's still holding up then that combo is golden!
I have been eying Hi Temp bumper renew for a while, I have some CG Trim Gel commin in thanks to Jason. I have to wait to look at this thread when I get home Can not see the pic JLS. Work computer blocks all pics that are not hoseted through Photobucket or Flickr
What did you end up using on the step bars? I can't imagine black wow being good (or safe) for that application.
I take a turtle wax MF applicator like you get at Big Lots and put about a 2" line of Black Wow in the middle of it. I then take the CGs trim gel and put a line all the way around the outer edge of the pad. Take the pad and fold it in half to rub the mixture together on the applicator and start applying. It will go a long ways. If you really want to make it look great go back after the application and spray everything with Stoners Trim Shine and it seems to sort of lock in the shine. On the step bars I used Klasse AIO since they are mostly metal. I then spray the plastic pieces with Stoners Trim Shine. I use this for all nerf bar set ups. I've only used the ASD on wheel wells and that plastic isn't very porous so if the trim on the Honda is porous not sure how it will work. Try it on a small area and see how it does. You could also use Stoners More Shine and that can be bought at a lot of Advance Auto Parts stores. It wont have the durability of the Black Wow/CGs Trim Gel but will give a very similar look for a little while.
