Poorboy's Trim Restorer- Process pics

[budman3]

Hey everyone. I had some free time tonight so I decided to do a little work here and there on my Jeep. As many of you know, the fender flares are very susceptible to fading... mine were. I know that dying or painting is the only way to make them look their best but I figured using Poorboy's Trim Restorer wouldn't hurt. I did three coats over an hour, wiping off excess after about a 10 minute soak time. I applied a coat and then let it sit while I polished the door. Well enough talk and I'll let the pictures tell the story:

Before:

Coat 2- I think this pic was before I wiped excess off:

That's awesome. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I have a Jeep too but luckily the fender flares are painted to match the body. I've been using PB Trim Restorer on the other black plastic parts of the Jeep with great results. The Jeep was the main reason I bought PBTR. I have a friend that has a Jeep with flares that look just like yours (before) and I'm dying to get at it.

Thanks, I'm thinking about either painting them or just getting new ones... but for the time being TR will do the trick .

Nice review. Thanks for sharing. Looks like I'll need to put another product on my wish list!

Looks Fantastic!
What is the durability supposed to be like with the product?

I sort of want to get the DG rubber and flat black dressing, since I can just pick that up locally.

Trim Restorer was made to ... well... restore trim . So if you have wax build up, fading, grimy trim, this product would be great. It leaves a nice finish that restores the original look of the trim. As for the durability- not too positve... I'll try to keep you updated.

In all honesty, I don't expect these results to stay for a long time... the plastic is very porous and I expect the product to be soaking into the fender flare over time. But who knows, time will tell.
