Send it to me and I will coat it for you.
I agree with Mckee’s or WETS. They are better than Blackfire.

The best solution on the cowl panels with all of the intricate recesses and corners would be a durable aerosol. Anybody using one that lasts? On the Optimum Spray wax is just spray on and walk away or do you need to level it with a towel?

I'm In California. You could always ship it my way and I will ship it back. Does it need restoration?

I had been meaning to do a 50/50 test between a dedicated trim sealant vs. a spray wax mentioned in this thread but haven’t had the time... Basically anyone who’s used 1 of the dedicated trim sealants and has also used/tried a spray sealant on the same trim knows that spray sealants come up short in comparison in 1 very important factor... Looks. The trim sealants will provide a significantly darker surface vs. just using a spray sealant.
Even if the vehicle is brand new there’s a difference that can be seen and a spray sealant simply can’t duplicate that darkening effect for longer than maybe a few moments after its applied. The people who’ve used these types of products know what I’m talking about...
And the ones who’ve never tried using them because they simply refuse to try something new could be considered old dogs that refuse to learn new tricks. Any and all brand new black plastic trim has the potential to look better than it did brand new. I consider it a must when doing a new car prep detail.

If it were me and it being new I would coat it. Then recoat a year later. Prep with IPA after a wash and then coat. Gyeon Trim is easy to work with. You have the new pinnacle Black Label trim coating. From the reviews it looks easy to use.
You would be happy with Mckee’s or Wolfgang.
No need for solution finish at this point.

to purchase.
-They may darken the trim for a little while
longer than many Sealants; but, since they
are bombarded with UV rays they will
lighten-up after awhile, and have to be
re-newed/re-applied: the same way as it is
with any other sacrificial LSP.
•I ask:
-Do you want temporary darkened-looks;
-or, would you prefer protection—protection
that will last the expected life-cycle of the
black textured plastic components?
{Hint:
I’d rather have never-ceasing protection.}
@OP...Remember the following:
•When it comes to applying “dressings”
to black plastic textured trim:
-Let there be no doubt,
I know what I’m talking about.
