Right now I have applied the Aerospace 303 to the upper front black plastic grill....it took me quite some time as I was OCDish on it.

1. Washed the car and dried it.
2. Upon close inspection it had some water spotting deposits in the little squares so I took some isopropyl alcohol on some cotton swabs and cleaned each one out.
3. I then squirted some 303 in a water bottle cap and then just started carefully applying it to each and every square.
4. HUGE DIFFERENCE in the look from the top part (treated 303 grill area) and the bottom part (lower grill).

I will be putting this on the rest of the car's black plastic trim (not the painted pillars/bumper) but the stuff around the tires and the roof rails. Once that is done hopefully the Black Wow will have arrived and I will see how that works!
for the grill area i just use a artist brush. you can usually pick them up fairly cheap at art supply stores. i just spray a little 303 directly on the brush and pretend like i'm brushing bbq sauce on ribs.

when i'm done i usually end up wanting to eat ribs for some reason
