As owning a boat I would definitely recommend almost any Marine product. As they are designed for a much harsher environment. With that being said somebody recommended a local detailing store to me. They sell 3D products. Well I can tell you after starting with their S102 exterior ceramic trim restore I'll never use anything else. I have a whole shelf full of chemical guys and some of their stuff is good, but looks like hell after dew or rain.

When I purchased the used Platinum mirrors for my truck they had some blemishes...Some extremely minor blemishes, but after applying it I couldn't see them anymore. They even have an interior version which cleans everything other than leather. This ceramic stuff leaves a fantastic looking finish.

+1 for 303 products

For the textured plastic, I like Mother's Back to Black. For smooth finish, I've used 303 Aerospace but recently found out that the only difference between that and the 303 Automotive, is the name and the price.

Might be true for the marine grade stuff too.

303 for everything inside. 303 MARINE for all exterior plastics. It works amazingly.
Im thinking about trying CarPro DLux. Its supposed to last quite a bit longer.

I applied the 303 Marine after every wash. Looks great

All 303 protect variations are all EXACTLY the same per the company themselves.

Buy the cheapest label you can.

Try Adam's Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating. It's absolutely fantastic, works on paint, glass and Plastic. Definitely applies somewhat more similar to a traditional ceramic coating, however it's very user friendly and forgiving compared to the "small bottle" coatings. I've done it on 5 vehicles now (2 2024 F150s, 2 Mazda CX30s, and a Mach E) and am still on my first bottle. I'm going on 6 months of a single coating on my truck and it's still just like the day I applied it. Not sure how well it will work on already faded plastics (I think they recommend cleaning first if already faded), however so far on mine it's been absolutely fantastic and no fading in the California sun. I applied within a month of buying my truck so plastics never had a chance to fade. Truly recommend.
