Help with 612 trim

Around the mirror it looks like the plastic has been hit with a lot of wax over time.

First, remove existing wax from the plastic and then condition or coat it. To clean, spray a horse hair brush with 1z Plastic Deep Cleaner and agitate. After it lathers up and you have wax and dirt suspended in the slurry, wipe away with a microfiber towel. Flush with water, dry, inspect and repeat as necessary.

Once it is sufficiently clean, flush with water and dry. Condition with 303 aerospace protectant (as you noted), or another quality product. I am a HUGE fan of Ultima Tire & Trim Guard Plus or Carpro Dlux. Dlux is a vinyl coating that requires more from you in terms of prepping and applying but lasts much longer than other conditioning options -might be best to locate a professional that is experience with Dlux if that's the route you wish to take.

Your skirt has pitting from rocks being thrown at it by the front tires. It looks like, again, wax that has made its way into the pitting. It should be able to be cleaned the same way.

Make sure you do not agitate the painted surfaces with the brush or you may find additional swirl marks and damage in your sensitive paint.

 

No problem. It also appears that there's a wax buildup on the side mirror's clear bra edge.

That can be removed with a long bristle boar's hair brush and a quality pre-treat like p21s Total Auto Wash. Moving forward, it is possible to not get a build up on the edge of the film. You will need to adjust one or two things. If you wish to continue using the same paste or liquid wax, you should tape off the edge or use caution while applying so you do not get wax in the edge. Or, you can switch to a clear protectant, like Carpro Reload, or a coating. There are over the counter coatings as well as professional-only.

I am sure you can spend many hours cleaning up the wax build up that's all over the car. But when you're done it will look much nicer. Best of fortune to you in getting that done.

 

I would replace all of the film if it's 8 years old.

Glad I can assist.
