How To Restore Badly Faded Car Plastic Trims by Polishing Them

[@richardvanderplas1575]

Great video!! Just what I was looping for. Always very informative!

[@critstixdarkspear5375]

Sandro.. The arms dealer of detailing. Love your work.

[@matthewgibb2640]

I have done this for twelve years with water based jewelling polishes and silica based sealants via rotary and random and the au-bf falcons and 2006 back subaru models trims love this process.

[@nickhowlett7855]

What are water based jewelling polishes, as I'm interest in cleaning up my AU weather strips

[@Sebastian_0087]

I would never think to do this apart from just using trim dressings. I'm going to give this a try on my next detail of my car 😁

[@4agePower]

Champion, I was wondering this - now confirmed. Keep it up!

Fantastic, can’t wait to try it. My Rodeo has plenty of trim to play on. Thanks for sharing

[@MrTruthislight]

this is great stuff buddy!

[@guillaumeniedzwiecki5909]

Great advise !! I thought it would give like a white aspect but no... I have to try it !! Thanks again 👍👍👍👍

[@RJT11]

Brilliant!

Do you have any videos on plastic chrome trim around these windows? Love the content

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

No nothing specific, but you can use a metal polish or fine car paint polish to help restore them. Just don’t heavily compound them as they usually have a thin plating that can come off if you’re too aggressive.

I clicked this video because my Jeep Patriot has faded trim like that. And the test car IS a friggin Patriot! Thank you

[@christiansanchez4666]

I came here for the Same thing! I have a jeep Pat 08 white

Can you do one on how you do the back b pillers on a car

[@paulclaeys7631]

Hi Sandro!! Would this also work on stains following a too long dwell time with TarX? During decontamination the smallest amount must have been left, only for a minute... but the roof carrier rails (dark grey) on either side of my car are now almost white... gutted. Any tips? Thnx man!!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes it could work, but maybe something like Solution Finish could be another good option if they are really whitened up.

[@paulclaeys7631]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thnx Sandro, as always!!!! 👍🏼😊

[@thetraindriver01]

Nice effort Sandro, looks like a lot of elbow grease involved 😜👍

[@antoniou5]

I can't find the polishes you are using. Is there any alternative ones?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

There’s loads like Meguiars M205, Scholl S30+, Shine Supply classic polish, really almost any car polish.

[@antoniou5]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks Sandro

[@samk7738]

Hey Sandro, where do you do your classes? have you got a link? i'm mostly self taught to do my own cars, but i would like to do a class to get some professional advice

[@WildDanHibiki]

Can I use my Carpro 1-step fixer for this?

[@HeliconPath]

Most of the trim around windows are rubber though, arent they?

[@Ashley-dy7bx]

To me, it just seems like the oil from the Polish is soaking into the plastic and darkening the trim. You can see this happen at 1:36 in the video. The trim turns instantly black when the polish is initially applied without agitation. I can't imagine it lasting more than 1 week.

[@Ashley-dy7bx]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thank you for the response, I will have to try it then!

[@mirabalmedia]

I’ve been telling people this for years.

[@shaniranikauboj]

I thought that trims around windows are some type of rubber, not plastic.

[@shaniranikauboj]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Do you think Alfa 156 has Rubber or plastic?
