Trim restoration
I've been using Meguiars Ultimate Plastic restorer for a little while now until I run out, It does the job, however I feel like there is a lot better for two reasons 1. to get a nice uniform coat, it takes a good bit of product and some elbow grease to rub it in ( to me at least ) and 2. It lasts, but it does not last long, at all. At least not on the trim I have tried it on. Looking for opinions on other trim restorers, for everything from bumpers that are plastic to doorhandles etc. I dont wanna just buy whatever looks good versus hearing some good feedback.

Re: Trim restoration
Solution Finish for trim restoration. McKee's would be another option.

Re: Trim restoration
Thanks, I'll give that a try. Have you heard any or any first hand experience with Blackwow? I've read up some good reviews on that also.

Trim restoration
I have not used black wow. Seems to get favorable reviews.
I have used Solution Finish to restore trim and it does a great job. Probably can't go wrong with either one.
Here is an idea of what Solution Finish can do. This was the rear bumper of my brothers 99 Tahoe that he sold a few months ago.

Re: Trim restoration
Wow looks good what about g technique c4 trim restorer? Is it better than solution finish or about the same?

Re: Trim restoration
My favorite plastic process is to first clean it well before dressing/coating. My personal fav cleaner is 1Z (Nextzett) plastic cleaner restorer. Fully flush and dry. Then, Solution Finish.
GummiPfledge on soft rubber door seals every wash.
I will add that I used BlackWow for maybe 2-3 years before Solution Finish was introduced. BW is an excellent product and I was very happy with it HOWEVER...Solution Finish proved even better for me with regard to even coats and durability.
Again, my experiences.

Re: Trim restoration
I did all the engine plastic and the wiper cowling on my daughter's 2006 Lexus GS300 with Trim Solution. I'm sold on the ease of use and durability.

If the trim is faded bad then solution finish would be the way to go over C4.

Re: Trim restoration
Not long, maybe 10 mins. Its a nice applicator bottle with the foam top like shoe polish. I run up and down my soft door seals with it.
