Trim Restore on 14 year old Xterra

[TTQ B4U]

If I use black SF over very faded Grey, will it cause poor results?

The important thing is to use the correct color Solution Finish to match the original color of the plastic trim. Either 1 will work over faded gray trim, but if the original color of the trim is gray then the black Solution Finish isn’t what you want to use.

This is Solution Grey used on gray trim <snip> It’s pretty rare to find a vehicle that came with gray plastic trim, but this Toyota 4 Runner fit the bill.

@mrmarkmac Gotcha now! I was having a brain cramp. Eldo correctly show the difference and understood. I wasn't thinking of the two different colors is why my answer back was a bit odd perhaps.

Hopefully you are all good now. Haha on my brain cramp.

It seems like you can only buy one ounce of SF in black. I’m wondering if there is any issue using the Black SF over faded grey trim. Or do I need to buy the large 12 ounce bottle of grey?

Here's a thought ... contact Solution Finish directly and ask them if they could sell you a 1 oz. of their Fusion Grey trim restorer. It never hurts to ask. Maybe even offer to put up a review online to help raise awareness of the product.

Solution Finish customer support is excellent. I have contacted them twice and both times they replied quickly. Actually it was the inventor of SF who replied to me!

I've had good luck with McKee's 37 plastic trim restorer on my Xterra. I use it every few months and it holds up pretty well.

I use Stoners Trim and Shine, and i like it over the 50 others i have tried that are sitting in a box
Might as well use Armour All

McKess 37 on all exterior trim on my former 12 Xterra. Did it justice.

That looks great. Was it faded or in good shape before you applied it?

[PA DETAILER]

I got on early with the McKess. So it was in good shape overall. But for really bad trim, I hit with Mothers trim cleaner first (Another really good product) then follow up with the McKess. Loved the Xterra, hated all the trim! But once treated with McKess it really lasted! To be honest a year or more before I would have to reapply.

I've always used PreWow as prep and black wow pro for restoration.

Also note I have Solution Finish and Detail Kings Trim kote...they usually just reserves these days
