    Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric paint works pretty good

    Solution Finish restores faded trim though it isn’t long lasting so I use Pinnacle Ceramic Trim over Solution Finish.

    Thoroughly impressed. If it last a 3rd of what it says (200washes) It will make my hall of fame of products.

    Did the same with my Crosstrek this weekend and couldn't be easier to apply. Hoping for the same longevity as you. Next time, I would buy direct, rather than getting them from Griot's - saves coin.

    FIRST

    There is no such thing as one and done and never will be. The stupid plastic car manufactures put on their cars didn't last and look good from the factory and nothing your pour out of a bottle, spray out of a can, etc. will last any longer.

    So instead, what you MUST do - is,

    Find something you like and use it often
