Review: Poorboy's World Trim Restorer

[TroyScherer]

I received the Poorboy's World Trim Restorer yesterday and couldn't wait to try it out. As you will be able to see from the before pictures the trim on my car needed some help. I washed the car and dried everything using my Blue Waffle Weave Drying Towel. I then applied the Trim Restorer to an applicator and applied it to the trim. I like the glossy look so I did buff it off; according to the directions.

Conclusion:
To start it made a very large difference in the look of my trim. I take pride in my car looking the best in the neighborhood. So I thought that washing and cleaning my trim was enough. I was wrong this stuff looks great. A little definitely goes a long way. It went on very easy and doesn't feel greasy. As far as durability goes I'll have to update this post in about a week to let you know. I may also have a Saab with a lot of black trim to try this on this week. I'll try and keep this updated.

curious how long this product will last, is it just basically a hydrating product for the plastic?

A forum favorite indeed ... works especially well on the lower plastic trim most manufacturers add to cars now too.

Nice write up with pics I love TR it's amazing how you think your trim looks great but when you put TR on it the look changes so much and it cleans up the cars appearance tremendously. The way I look at it, it's like cleaning your car and not dressing your tires..... sure it will still look good but dressing your tires makes the car look 1000x better becasue everyone may not know how a polished car looks but they do know what tire dressings look like lol.....same concept for the trim it just cleans it up.

Again nice review just one thing you had mentioned "I like the glossy look so I did buff it off; according to the directions." For a glossy look you apply it on let it sit for longer and than do a light buff.....TR needs to be buffed off with a cotton towel not MF as well. If you do not buff those little like "patches" the left overs on the trim, you know what im talking about, they will run on the paint (if it happens to rain) so if you want it glossy just do a quick buff to wipe those extra "patches" off and your good to go

Any updates? How well has it held up?

I've been using Black Again and it doesn't last more than two washes or more than a single storm.

Maybe because it's not meant for smooth plastic...?
