I don't plan to do another set of dressings. But I had several to try. I've been meaning to try them on various trim parts around the Rover, but it was looking so bad that I covered everything with Solution Finish and will likely top it with 303 Trim Protectant.
I thought it might be interesting to see how these products did at restoration. I had only one small are left to try: the license place light fixture on the tailgate. Each product was limited to ~2" of space.
The products were applied in the same order shown in the lineup.
74171
Here's how it looked before the products were applied:
74172
Here's how it looked after:
74170
A few days later it still looks about the same. The Gyeon Preserve and Adams In and Out look the best to me in person. They aren't the darkest, but they do darken well and have a nice matt finish. Duragloss 271, Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant, Blackfire All in One Trim Sealant, and Duragloss Ultimate Detail Spray all also look good. DG 271 and the Wolfgang product look like very similar products. I have used them both a lot and if I recall they have about the same longevity. The sprays and ackward to use. I don't really understand the intent of DG Ultimate Detail Spray.
Sonax Plastic Care and 303 Trim Restorer and Protectant doesn't darken at all. The 303 product seems to protect well, which is why I plan to apply it over my other plastic trim that has been darkened with Solution Finish. I may try the Sonax product as well.
DG 271 and WG Sealant have been my go-to trim restorers for a while. They work well but don't last long. Maybe 2 months if I recall? Will have to see.
I didn't include Solution Finish because it seems to be more of a dye than sealant or a dressing.
