    McKee's37 Plastic Trim Restorer

    As some of you will remember, I had a 'restoration' to be completed on a 1976 Alfa Romeo. The trim/mirrors/bumpers/etc were original and showing, well, shall we say, a little bit of age. LOL. They were hammered, beat, horrible!

    I waterless washed the areas first, then did a wipe down with N914 in paint prep ratio. I then applied the trim restorer. After the initial application I was blown away, it looked so much better. I applied it heavy. Let it dry for a few hours and hit it again. I allowed it dry/set over night and hit them with a 3rd and final coat. A MAJOR difference in the appearance of these areas.

    The owner was shocked!

    How does the trim react to water? Any beading?

    It beads water, not like a wax on paint but it does bead.

    Not the best pics

    In Laws Ridgeline bumper treated, upper bed has not been done yet.



    Here you can see that the water is beading in the spots where it was applied. I hadn't prepped the bed yet but wiped some on that corner for the heck of it
