Additionally, McKee's 37 Plastic Trim Restorer is easily wiped off of surrounding surfaces (such as glass and paint) without causing damage if accidental exposure occurs.

Prevent all of the downfalls listed above by simply protecting your plastic surfaces from the get-go! McKee's 37 Plastic Trim Restorer is a must for new cars - whether you have a ton of trim or not!

Review:

This review will be short and sweet.

Here's the description and directions of this product:



Here are some before pictures of the vehicle's faded, dull and grey plastic trim:

Driver side front fender trim:


Driver side rear fender trim:


Passenger side rear fender trim:


Directions recommended that the McKee's 37 Wax Remover for Plastic 16 oz. is used to clean the plastic trim. I didn't understand why I had to do this because I just washed the vehicle and everything is clean. Boy I was wrong!!!

Spray the McKee's 37 Wax Remover for Plastic 16 oz. on the plastic trim:


Let it dwell on the surface for 30-60 seconds:


Thoroughly scrub the plastic trim using a microfiber towel:


Here's the reason why I was wrong - it pulled some dirt from the plastic trim even if I just finished washing the vehicle!!! Crazy!


On the other trim pieces, I decided to spray the McKee's 37 Wax Remover for Plastic 16 oz. directly on the microfiber towel as shown:


Then thoroughly wipe the plastic trim:


This is the amount of dirt I picked up in cleaning just half of the 2 rear quarter panel fender liners!!! This is crazy!!!


I didn't have any new foam applicator pads left to use for this product. I bought a foam used for seats in Michael's and I was going to use this as tire dressing applicators (HOT TIP LOL - Save money on tire dressing applicators). So I got a small piece and used this for the McKee’s 37 Plastic Trim Restorer.

Apply some McKee’s 37 Plastic Trim Restorer on to your foam applicator pad:


Then rub the product thoroughly onto the plastic trim's surface:






Here's a picture of the entire driver's front fender trim treated:


Here's a 50/50 shot of the driver's side rear quarter fender trim:


Here's another 50/50 shot of the passenger side rear quarter fender trim:


As you can see, it really restores old, faded and dull plastic trim and makes them look like new!!!

I'm going to update this thread on how durable it is and how long the restorer lasts. But keep in mind, we don't get much rain here in AZ.


Thoughts and Observations:

This product's consistency is very thin. It's like water. It's a clear liquid with the same color as motor oil.

Little goes a long way for this product. I think I over applied the product on the foam applicator pad because the trim was drenched. I tried leaving the product to dry but it didn't dry. Buffing off the excess is required (as stated in the directions).

There wasn't a strong smell to it. I didn't notice anything so it was good.

It restored the plastic trim to look like new.

Cost might seem high but you use so little product that a bottle will last forever.


Conclusion:

This product works as advertised - it restores plastic trim and makes them look like new! If this product lasts a long time as stated then we have another home run product from McKee's 37!

As always, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this review. Comments are appreciated.

Great review, Marc!!

[fly07sti]

Very nice Marc. How would you compare this to WG's trim sealant?

[Mantilgh]

^Trim Restorer and WETS are very similar in consistently and application. I think McKees may darken a little more on some plastics, some they look identical side by side.

I bought this after reading this review.

This stuff is easy to work with and really does enhance even well-maintained trim!

Nice in depth review my friend!

marc, do you think that the McKee's 37 Wax Remover for Plastic works well enough to surgically clean the plastics before applying a trim coating?

[DBAILEY]

How well does it bead/sheet water? Is it like UTTP or WETS in that regard?

Great review, Marc!!

Thank you so much Paul!

Thanks a lot Don! Haven't tried the WG trim sealant yet.

Thank you so much Kyle!!

marc, do you think that the McKee's 37 Wax Remover for Plastic works well enough to surgically clean the plastics before applying a trim coating?

I think it cleaned the trim because I pulled out some dirt even after I washed the car. Definitely better than not doing it. If I didn't have this product, I'd use an IPA scrub down lol!

How well does it bead/sheet water? Is it like UTTP or WETS in that regard?

I didn't test beading and sheeting. Doesn't rain much here either. Will update you on my next wash.

Looking forward to seeing your results or comparison!
