That's not bad at ALL, man...I'm going to do the same.
Also, do ask them for the old parts back. I always do that, especially for a part I can't see.

Dan, for your windshield cowl, rub some creamy peanut butter on a shop rag and wipe down the black plastic trim. The oil in the peanut butter coats the plastic and makes it look brand new. Plus it's a lot cheaper than buying dedicated back-to-black / Armor All products.

Here is a video I shot a while back for my friend to prove that I wasn't joking around. When you're done, spray it down with some detail spray to clear the smell and to shine it up even more.

I meant the weather stripping at the top of the windshield.

You can see how white it is between the windshield and roof

Everyone at the daycare claimed they didn't know what happened but after DSS investigated them, 2 younger ladies were fired after they found similar complains from other parents.

They are a PITA to keep clean. Going to hit them with some clear Friday to see of that makes them easier to clean.

Restored the trim so no more white wax marks



Then applied a cleaner to the vinyl, that shine is awesome

O ok hmm wonder if its something I'd be able to tackle. It would prolly take 2 guys to do it with a piece that big. That's a pretty good price for the roof wrap. The vinyl alone prolly cost near $80-$100
