    Another review of McKee's37 Plastic Trim Restorer

    The victim this time was a 2006 Mercedes-Benz C230 Sport with around 100K miles. The windshield cowl/trim was dull and faded. Very gray looking and lifeless. I hit it with an ample dose of trim restorer and it brought the color/luster right back! I let it sit for a few minutes then knocked down the high spots. It looks very good now. I will have to update this thread with the longevity as I see this vehicle frequently.

    Re: Another review of McKee's37 Plastic Trim Restorer

    Don't mean to hijack your thread, but I have to pop in and give my props too. This stuff is really excellent. Used it on some gnarly trim a couple weeks ago.





    That was after only one coat. I let it soak in for a bit, hit it again and got the more intricate areas, then knocked down the high spots later.

    Full shot:

    Owner of that car was probably more impressed by the trim than the paint and it was horribly oxidized:


    I applied it to my roof's trim on my car(daily driver) maybe 2 months ago and it still looks good as the day I applied it too, so if I can get that kind of durability out of it or better + ease of use, I'm pretty happy.

    I have not tried it using your heavy application technique and let it soak. I've been trying multiple lighter coats. I wonder if we introduce heat into it some how it would restore even better. Like heating up the section/trim wiper cowl with a heat gun/hair dryer and then the heavy application soak.

    ^^^^I'm in to thry this Bailey. I use heat with GYEON Tire with good results as a tire dressing. Would be interested in seeing how it works with McK's Trim Restorer. Good thinking there!

    Re: Another review of McKee's37 Plastic Trim Restorer

    I have found that different plastic requires different trim restorer. What works for one type of vehicle can be totally ineffective on another make vehicle.

    Chevy Avalanche plastic trim is the worst for fading. I find that Ardex and Detail Doctor Trim Restorers work great on the Avalanche. However, those 2 products do NOTHING for the trim on Jeep Wranglers. Wranglers need a really greasy product like Chem Guys Bare Bones.

    I have the Mckee's in my arsenal as well as a dozen more.

    UPDATE: It's been around 3 weeks and it's still looking good and holding up well. This vehicle even sat outside at the airport for a week! It's had multiple waterless washes and at least two 2BW in this time frame.
