There's a lot of products that claim to work: Detail exterior trim & metal with Autogeek's large selection of polishes, dressings and tools! mothers, dp, meguiars, powerball, forever black, (http://www.autogeek.net/excarcar.html)

I've read some excellent reviews about Solution Finish Black Plastic & Vinyl Restorer, trim restorer, black plastic restorer (http://www.autogeek.net/solution-finish-restorer.html) but it sure is very pricey!

Plastic Trim

Solution Finish and CarPro DLux are the longest lasting plastic trim treatments I've tested. I posted a review for both of these on Autopia Forums, click on the link below..

I need it for the rubber seals, specifically the horizontal rubber trim where the window comes out of the door.

Does anyone here have any direct experience using AcrylicWerks on black exterior trim?

I'm curious, because I have two vehicles with the exact issues they fix in their youtube videos: 2005 Honda CR-X, and a 1991 BMW.

Their videos show excellent real-time results on these cars (ever notice how massive the amount of black plastic trim there is on a CR-X 2nd Gen?)
