Anyone try this to clean exterior trim?
I read that some people are diluting Klasse AIO with water and applying it to textured trim (exterior) to clean it. Any one tried this? It seems like a good idea, as I've always been able to just buff out any AIO that I get on the black trim (ie, does not leave a white film).

9 months?!
What kind of surface does 303 protectant leave? I have a new bottle here but haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. :doh:
The only interior cleaner I've used is the Armor All stuff that leaves that wet finish but only lasts about a few weeks tops.
Does 303 leave that kind of finish? I guess I should just go ahead and test out my bottle then to find out.
Back on topic, I was skimming around Autopia today and briefly saw that a few have tried AIO on things other than metal like plastic trim, but I didn't care for their feedback since I was searching for other things. I will edit this later when answer is rediscovered...

with 303 this is how i apply is, if i want a shiny surface, i will apply using a sponge applicator and leave wet to dry. usually i'll do multiple applications. 2-3 depending on if i'm getting ready for summer or winter.
if i want a bright surface but not a complete wet look. i spray the 303 on to a cloth towel and apply it using the towel. let it set for 20-30mins then reapply, now the key is, you come back in about 30mins after the 2nd application with a new clean towel (lint free) and buff out the surface (lightly). this protects the surface but doesn't leave a wet looking surface. this is what i do with my tires and the engine compartment.
