    Is anyone seeing their trim fade fairly significantly. I have a 2020 that has 1200 miles and has never spent over a few hours in the sun, and certainly not a night, outside. Any thoughts and/or corrective ideas. I’ve watched videos and read about many products.

    mine is a 21 with 5500 miles and no fading.. however, mine is also covered with PPF including the grayish trims. Screens are as new.

    also, don't know what a 'front air cooler' is or what you mean.

    Thanks. My paints surfaces are ppf. I should have stayed” front air duct”. I’ll posts pics tomorrow. The places I’m talking about would likely not have ppf, but pictures will clarify.

    AH! yes, mine was like that as well when I got the car... for the S-Duct trim, get some Cerakote Trim coat from amazon or wherever.. Apply it as instructed on product... it will come out AMAZING- and permanently shiny and smooth... I did this on mine but have since replaced it with carbon fiber... as for the rubber on the cowl, you can clean it well with a diluted APC, then rinse, then dry, then use an isopropyl alcohol solution like Gyeon prep... then apply any number of rubber preserving products like, CarPro Perl or Chemical guys VNC. Enjoy.... you'll love the difference when you're done and super easy for both.
