Cerakote Trim Coat Kit- 20 Month Update!

[@billtaglia2865]

20 months and it still looks that black. That’s an amazing products. Nothing seems to last more than a couple of rainstorms or washes.

[@PatTheRiot]

Its like a thick hard shell in an hour. Very tricky to apply perfectly honestly but yes gives a nice wet look instantly if you degrease properly. Ill see how long this lasts in the salt winter.

[@maxfriedenberger8043]

just did my wife 2016 outlander and it looks great thanks for all the great information you share with us.

[@ShineYourLightDetailing]

Updates rock. Thank you Chelsea!

[@lockergr]

In getting ready to apply this to my car and I'll end up doing it to my family members' cars too. It looks like really good stuff.

[@qwikss4469]

Whoa, that stuff is super durable!!!

[@scottbarnwell512]

Several days ago, I bought the Ceratrim after watching your other 2 videos. Haven't put it on yet, but after today's video looking forward to it even more.

[@davidruggles996]

Great follow up Chelsea! I gotta say that it's been a home-run product for my customers as well. Cheers from Cali!

[@barrybij8079]

I agree with your results.. I applied Cerakote to the wifes Highlander.. After 4 months and weekly washes it still looks great. If it faded tomorrow I would still feel satisfied . Super easy product to use too. I was using stoners trim shine it always looked great but never really lasted...

[@urntwrthyZ]

Mirrors my experience with the product. Thanks for the update.

[@scottsummers6541]

Wow, a year and a half later, that's impressive!

[@cudgee7144]

Finally, someone who may be able to help me. On one side of my car where it got afternoon sun through a window when garaged, the plastic trim between the doors is extremely faded. Your video is the only one i have found that gets great results on the door trims. This looks like it WILL work, even if i have to apply 2-3 coats. Any thoughts, on seeing what you have been able to achieve i finally think i have seen a product that will achieve a good finish. Thanks.

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

Its still holding up well on my Subaru almost 2 years later.

Hi Chelsea 👋 ..... I just left walmart and picked up 2 boxes of cerakote wipes for $19.88 a box can't wait apply thanks again 👍

[@johnslesinger7109]

I guess maybe I was dumb. I looked at the Rustoleum trim restorer. It seemed to be a similar product and I thought it had the Rustoleum brand so its probably ok. Came with prep wipes and application wipes. It was certainly a waste of money and time for me. It looked bad within a few days. I am going to try the Cerakote and I'll let you know if it works better for me. Thanks.

[@cryptofan6255]

Me too. I had terrible streaking and staining from those prep pads. BTW, called them and they are supposed to be refunding my money. Have you tried going over it with Ceracoat and how did it look. Tried removing my Rustoleum issues with denatured alcohol and it didn't help a bit. I'm afraid if I go over it with the Ceracoat I'm just going to lock in the streaking and swirling for two years.

[@johnslesinger7109]

@@cryptofan6255 Yep me too. Got to get that junk off somehow.

[@cryptofan6255]

@@johnslesinger7109 It's such bullshit. When I called the woman in customer service she was like, "Did you rinse off that pre-wipe really well before applying the finish coat?" I was like, "Uhhh...no I didn't, nor did your instructions call for it." Such BS, sadly, there's nothing that can be done. I would love to have them replace my bumper, my grill, and one mirror. In the product's defence, one mirror came out well. :)

[@johnslesinger7109]

@@cryptofan6255 I never even bothered calling rustoleum. I followed the directions perfectly. I barely had enough product. It looked good for about 3 days, then started looking like it was dusty with all kinds of swipe marks. Lesson learned I guess. I'm going to try the cerakote sometime. Been using CoverAll. Lasts for months but the overspray is terrible.

[@guymann4016]

Thank you! Looking to try this.

Use it on F-150 FX4 its good stuff.

[@logan5326]

Does that chemical treatment attracts dust? Thanks.

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

It can be a little static prone but it releases dirt very easily when rinsed.

[@jameshutchins3396]

Thank you so much mom! Inner finders???

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

Nah. They get so chipped up its not worth it. They tar and chip the roads bad here plus I dont want to take wheels off.

[@tombanes]

Is there a product that works well but not glossy? I use meguires natural protectant because of the satin finish but of course it only lasts one wash.

[@MikesAutoDetailing]

Great video

Nope!

[@kimnewling5728]

Does the Cerakote "clog up" like the ceramic coating on the paint? Do you put a topper on the trim? I like the update. Cool.

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

With regular maintenqnce I dont notice it. And I top it like I do the paint. Just a drying aid or topper after washing. Thanks!

[@pdeblois1880]

What is the coating on the paint of this car?

[@88nghtshd]

Hi Chelsea, this seems like the best product for the plastic trim in my research but a handful of the reviews are bad when it doesnt apply right and becomes streaky, spotted and removal can be a pain. Have you experienced this or is it something more common on older more weathered trim vs new trim? It wouldnt be the first time Ive heard ceramic not coming out right on plastic trim. A little afraid to use it because of this.

[@maxfriedenberger8043]

I just did my wifes 2016 outlander and it came out great. make sure you prep it right. I used Citrol 266 and it clean it great. Not sure what Chelsea used??

[@TheRussianRoma]

[@takumisato7126]

I just did this on the plastic trim piece on my 91 honda civic and it looks great so far, do you recommend one coat or should I apply another coat on top of the first coat?

Any tips on removing it from paint once it has setup

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

I would start first with a polish and see if that removes it. If that doesn’t you might need to step it up to a compound and possibly even wet sanding then compound and polish. If you do not feel comfortable doing that, I would reach out to a professional detailer who would have the skills to know how to handle That.

[@whalen530]

@@attention2detailswchelsea thanks again Chelsea by the way check your local Lowe’s they had this on clearance for under $7 if interested

[@krabysniper]

When someone I knew tried this stuff, but didn't follow the directions closely and got it on his paint and glass, I stumbled onto something that takes the cured cerokote off of glass and a good paint finish ( IE the clear coat is intact and not faded or pealing ). I used clean micro fiber towel/(also white paper towel) and meguire's PlastX, rubbed in via firm finger pressure in little circular motions. It takes a little elbow grease but it did take it off without scratching or staining and without stripping paint. PlastX is meant for polishing polycarbonate like motorcycle windshields, air craft canopies, etc. Works excellent as a cured cerokote remover.

[@miketirado7325]

i applied this product and it looks horrible streaks every where do you know how to remove it so i can start over?

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

I saw someone say below nail polish remover. Haven't tried it myself but its not a product to go over once applying. One swipe and then don't touch. Sorry you had a bad experience. Maybe reach out to Cerakote for the official method to remove

[@miketirado7325]

@@attention2detailswchelsea thanks for the info

[@krabysniper]

NEVER EVER USE ACETONE ( AKA NAIL POLISH REMOVER ) on ANY PLASTIC OR PAINT FINISH, NEVER!! I found Meguier's PlastX will remove cured cerokote from a good paint finish and glass surfaces. Not sure how it might work on plastic pieces, but I know it won't melt it like finger nail polish remover/acetone WILL.

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

@krabysniper that’s what they are telling customers to use to remove it sadly

I'm having some issues with this coating. How can I remove it. On textured plastic

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

My experience is it’s a permanent product

[@urntwrthyZ]

Per Cerakote: "The best removal method is to mechanically wipe the trim coat off with a white magic eraser dipped in pink non-acetone fingernail polish remover. "

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

@urntwrthyZ that did nothing to remove it but in fact burned my trim where it had flaked off and caused permanent damage

[@krabysniper]

​@@attention2detailswchelseathis is to late to help you now, but Maguire's PlastX worked for removing it from paint and glass, not sure of its ability to take it off plastic trim, but it won't melt trim either.

[@indiggioman]

Thanks for the update! I too have a 2014 Subaru Outback and have been looking at the various products to restore the trim, so based on your video, I'm going to give it a try. Also, since I too live in Eastern PA, the other extreme problem I have with the Outback are the water spotting on the windows. I have tried everything from the simple vinegar, etc. to actually glass polishing the windows and still the spots remain. After polishing and sealing, water just slides right off, but the spots are still obvious and very unsightly. Do you have similar spot issues on your car? Have you tried/found anything that'll remove the spots?

[@icehog2367]

Absolutely don't use Cerakote products on your trim if the car is evenly remotely new. They won't tell you this, which is appalling, but it'll wreck trim on a new car. The off gassing will push the coating away from the surface and can't be fixed. There should be a class action lawsuit against the company, no questions asked.
