    Faded plastics

    What products do you guys use on faded plastics? I have not been really happy with anything I have tried so far, so I am looking for a product to add to my arsenal.

    Carpro perl/carpro dlux are some good choices though if you want it permanent fix you may want to dye the trim also dont forget to wash/agitate the trim before applying any trim dressing that way it bonds better

    I use Adams VRT (Great but pricey), Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel (Too messy for my liking and durability is alright), and am looking to try out the Solution Finish sample I got in the detail box. Really wanting to test out Ultima Tire and Trim guard though.

    ^^^ With the Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel, literally a litle goes a long way. I used a bit much and had issues. I thinned it out as much as I could and the results were phenomenal.

    I have used meguiar's plastic & vinyl coating, adam's VRT, meguiar's ultimate black (currently testing this one out) and wofgang trim sealant. I have wolfgang trim sealant on my garage queen but it looks ok. What about black wow?

    Re: Faded plastics

    That's kind of a loaded question.
    Is it:

    •Interior or Exterior Plastics?
    •Smooth or Textured Plastics?
    •What "Types"?
    -Polyurethane
    -Polycarbonate
    -Polypropylene
    -Polyoxymethylene
    -Polybutylene terephthalate
    -ABS

    Any plastic or rubber on the exterior I go with the Wolfgang Trim Sealant.

    Looks great and last months if well prepped.

    Carpro dlux all the way

    Adams VRT does not last, nor does their IN and Out spray.
