    Re: Black & tan trim restoration

    ColorBond and SEM have trim paint to match the manufacturers colors. Solution Finish is a dye, and will need to be redone at some point. I'd be looking to paint the tan trim before I'd be relying on a trim protection product like WETS. Truthfully, if I had the cowl panel already out, I'd be painting that too.

    Technically Solution Finish is not a dye, but refined graphite. You are correct that it will not last as long as paint and requires a topper (WETS) to get long term protection.

    I bought a bottle of Solution Finish. It did the trick and is a very impressive product. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

    Give is a coating of CarPro Dlux or GYEON Q2 TRIM within the next 2-3 weeks. I like Dlux better as it's easier to use overall. It will lock-in the look for quite a while.
