Solution Finish

After washing the GTS by hand and noticed the front lip looking really faded and a little weathered from the sun. I went ahead and after making sure it was really clean and dry and applied Solution Finish. I made sure to coat evenly and make it all the way to the edge of the paint. If you get it on the paint you can wipe it off with a clean cloth.
I am happy with the end result, just wanted to share in case others need to do this also. I plan to do the side rocker panels next. I used this product before and you don't need to reapply for 2 to 3 years. Cheers!

Here is BEFORE

This is progress

I got a kit that brings the cleaner, gloves, applicator sponges and the black solution finish....something like this on the link below. There are other ways to buy it, just the solution finish is small (1OZ) or large bottle (12OZ). Good luck! FL sun will dull and fade plastic fast.
