Unfortunately, I can’t say as I’ve never used Solution Finish.

Tonight I applied these 3 to the drivers side upper engine compartment:

The area isn’t in bad shape, but hasn’t been protected in quite some time. I cleaned with Megs APC 1:4 and then prep sprayed with Wolfgang. Here is prior to applying anything:

Again, hard to get great lighting in certain areas of the garage. On the left portion of this engine trim I applied Megs Black Plastic Restorer, in the middle PBL, on the right Mckees Plastic Trim Restorer. In the lighting (camera flash) the Mckees and Megs look most black/dark. PBL looks the most clean and least greasy. I’ll snap pictures in daylight tomorrow.
Megs vs. PBL:

Yes, I missed the ceramic part, That might make it look like solution finish but last a lot longer. Sounds like a win.
Thats a tough spot. I had the same problem with the dye going on unevenly. Mine didn't go away when it dried though. I'm hoping I can either take it off with something or try to fix it with a second coat. In hindsight I think I should have used a microfiber applicator instead of foam.
I haven't seen anything about layering coats have you? If you have any ideas let me know.
Thanks,
I didn’t apply two coats but given it’s the same product, hopefully it will work out for you. I got some splotches on the glossy front area of the grill where the license plate normally goes. I only noticed it weeks later when headlights from my other car were pointing on the area.
I’ll play around with a few things (APC, engine cleaner, hand polish) and see if anything removes it, in case your second coat doesn’t even things out. Granted, those splotches aren’t on normal matte trim.
Looks great I enjoyed the read thanks for doing it
I just used it again on the drivers side. I tried a few different applicators. The stuff goes on blotchy no matter what you do. I'm using great lighting. Maybe to good IDK
Is there any way to get this stuff off? I don't think I want to continue with it. I'm going to see how it looks in the morning. I'll keep you posted
3.75 month update:
I wiped the windshield base/trim down with water only. It looked pretty clean to the eye, but I wanted to compare without impacting the trim with cleaner
First I splattered some water on with a bottle. No spray action. The Megs shows water sticking to the surface with lazy beads formed on top. The PBL kept the water in bead piles with little water sticking underneath. M37 was in between the two, a little bit of water sticking but still decent bead puddles.

Next I dried and spritzed water on with a very fine sprayer. Megs was hard to get any good amount of water spritz in the tight area. PBL still beads but the beads are a ugly-shaped. M37 meanwhile has the tightest water beads.

I’ll do an update spray comparison in a few weeks after wiping down with N-914 to ensure a clean surface and I’ll use a normal bottle sprayer for more substantial water comparisons.
