Good buddy over at California Wraps turned me onto a small supply of a product he sources from an automotive chemical distributor. I'm waiting for his reply about who makes this stuff, in the meantime, I'm impressed with what it's done for plastic and rubber exterior parts. It was purely accidental some spilled onto the well used tailgate surface. As I wiped it away and felt the surface - which was not slippery or slimey - I went ahead and pulled the tail gate inner panel off, gave is a bath in denatured alcohol then a quick spray with water, this is what happened...
Before the spill:
After:
Application was a 1.5" foam paint brush. Couldn't be easier. The stuff is a milky white viscous/gel like substance that spreads easily. As an extra added bonus, it smells pretty good when the scent get airborne too.
To compare the gate to the rest of the untreated surfaces, check this out:
