    McKee's trim restore question..

    Hey, guys & gals.

    So I applied McKee's trim restore about 5 weeks ago after an IPA scrub. It is still protecting, and beading like crazy. SO impressed with this product.

    My question is this: The "blackness" has faded slighty although the water beading is still there like I mentioned.

    What would be better, just re-apply the product, or start from scratch with a 50/50 IPA scrub?

    I’ve never used that product but here is what I would do. I would just reapply it since there is still water beading. See if the trim turns black.

    All I use. Yes. You have the initial layer down. If you want to refresh it, just reapply.

    I've never used Mckee's but I have used Griots (still do) and Tuesday I washed my truck and noticed the same thing as you, it was not has dark as I would like it. It may sound silly but I applied Optimum Car Wax on the trim and it darken the trim up nicely. First time doing this so not sure how long it will last but it did work.

    All day detail today.

    I just went over the trim with another layer. Looks incredible again.
