Best Car Trim Restorer | How to restore faded plastic trim on your car

2021-10-19に共有
Ive seen a lot of videos from other detailing channels about Trim Restoration Back to Black products. There are tons or basic dressing style products out there, but only a few real Trim Restorer products. The two that always seem to stand out are Solution Finish and CeraTrim. I decided to test them out side by side along with a new product from Lithium Auto Care. So here it is!!! I do a side by side test on the same piece of plastic trim to see which is best. I will do an update video as well eventually to see which one is holding up the best... ENJOY!!

  • Any update as to the length of time these lasted for you?
  • Just used cera trim on my truck worked really good so far. The applicator that came with it made easy to apply. It lasted thru the rain and didn’t come off. The solution finish didn’t last long for me. Thanks for the video comparing these trim solutions.
  • Great timing for this video. I should be getting the lithium trim cubes today . Adding another option to my business. Seeing great reviews on it . Ty .
  • Just received the trim cubes today in the mail. Going to test them on my wife’s Honda this weekend.
  • Purchased cerakote from Walmart and was pleased at the easy of use after watching one of your videos
  • Super grateful for this video 🙌 As I had been wanting and wondering about Solution Finish for awhile now. You've obviously made my choice easy now. Thanks a million.
  • Awesome video as usual. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
  • The Absolute best Trim Restorer is Bowdens Mr Black , i work in parts ,i have sold 100,s of different trim restorers since they were first invented and have personally tried them all ,Mr black is Australian made and is the best 4 months so far my trim has remained black every other brand best i have eve got is 2 weeks !
  • The Lithium Trim Cubes are outstanding and are such a cool package. Easy to use and should last a long time. I have been using Lithium products for close to two years and have always been impressed. Their Double Tap, Inner Space, and Ceramic Slam are really phenomenal. Great review and use of the products and I cannot wait to see the long-term durability with these.

    Solution finish 6 cars? WAY MORE THAN THAT! It only takes a few drops of the product to do a trim piece. My guess is: 30 cars or more with a 12 oz bottle. It takes me 3 or 4 years to go through a bottle, I don't do trim restoration that often but I detail about 150 cars in a years. Scott HD did a very comprehensive trim restorer comparisson test and Wipe New and Cerakote came on top with Solution Finish finishing 3rd of about 12 products. In terms of value, I feel Solution Finish is a great buy and it last about a year which is good.
  • I love solution finish, I’ve used it on my plastic wheel well liners on my lifted truck and it looks great, there are a couple things to note, I found if you shake it really well there is a ball bearing inside like a rattle can that helps to mix it, if you get some on the driveway it will stain it and most important the applicator and towels could spontaneously combust if stored wrong, I put my applicator in a ziplock with water and throw it away, great video Josh 👍😁
  • Great review. I used your link to get the Lithium cubes. Looking forward to using them on my golf cart and truck!
  • Going to be trying those cubes! Also got my Maxshine Reaper kit and all I can say is...WOW!
  • @micd9256
    Solution Finish is must have. I’m intrigued by the trim cubes. They look way better than the Cerakote product I tried. It went on uneven and I could never get it perfect. And there is no way to fix it. I also use Malco Epic Revive and it’s great.
  • I am trying Solution Finish right now and looks great let's see how long endure! Thanks for the video!
  • @kathy1256
    Great comparison! Thanks for the heads up on those products!!
  • @dan393
    I've used solution finish for years on faded plastics and trim with good results. Great value for the size of bottle. Thanks for the video.
  • Dude you are the man. I say it all the time but man thank you for all your videos they keep getting better and better.
  • @ThatGuy1797
    Been using The Last Coat - Ceratrim for about 2 years at this point. Really noticed the coloration only lasts about 3 months before it starts fading again, even though the hydrophobic properties remain. Going to try out Solution finish and then a topper to do take care of the hydrophobic properties -- feel like this will be the best outcome.
  • I purchased Solution Finish in 2015 and never use it. It solves my problem caused by the Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat Kit.
