Meguiar's plastic restorer... Does it work? | (2021)

[@ritalockett9788]

It looks like it worked pretty well. I need to get some of this for my car. Did it do anything to the paint if it got on there?

[@OurShowOurStory]

It didn't phase the paint in any way. Super easy to use

[@ritalockett9788]

@@OurShowOurStory I will have to try. I was just looking at how faded it was on my car.

[@OurShowOurStory]

It really surprised me how good it was, it's not a perfect or permanent solution, but it's super easy and cheap

[@OurShowOurStory]

Also, be sure to let us know how it turns out!

[@moali210ify]

How long does it stay like that. Thanks

[@jancorey7232]

My husband and I always used this product. Two bottles I purchased a year into Covid just did not perform. I was introduced to TC Black. I'm working on the 3 panels from the boot. TC Black - one coat. I'm on the third coat with Meguiar's - not even close. I have not done this job in three years - Doing it with my husband was fun, but doing it by myself is more of a job. He passed in 2000.

[@user-dx8nz3mw7n]

Appreciate the share. I had the same experience with this product. Easy to apply and lasts many weeks, or longer; and I live in Georgia so lots of intense sun and I have to park outside all the time. I just did my annual detail on my 99 4Runner. I did the plastic today, and tomorrow I'm gonna treat with Meguiars Hybrid Camiric Wax to provide additional protection and help the restorer last longer. For the rest of you, if you have not tried this product...do so.

[@di6128]

Preparation is important. Degrease all the trim before applying the restorer and make sure all is dry.

[@justinlyle7831]

How do you degrease it?

This video helps a lot.. much thanks

I really enjoyed watching. It sure looks good and even a few weeks later it looks good! I gotta check out this product.

I has that product since couple of years and worked really good, I applied everytime when I wash the car and plastics gets darker always, all the plastics parts were faded and almost white similar as that chevy in the video

[@deestrings8552]

Hey! Great to hear, How long does it last?

[@BonedaddyToo]

I need to get a hold of a bottle of that. Thanks!

[@OurShowOurStory]

You won't be sorry

[@eduardobalderas1592]

Thank you for you're video

[@OurShowOurStory]

Glad you liked it

[@tristan5428]

Two things worth noting. First of all, on the back if you peel the label from the bottom left corner you'll find the instructions (pretty well hidden) which do state 2-3 applications may be needed on neglected surfaces which definitely applies in this video. Second of all, if you leave it 10 minutes and then go over it with a clean cloth (microfiber clothes work great), it will help to polish it off and really bring that finish up nicely.

[@tristan5428]

Sorry, I noticed that you did reapply it, I would say that it's worth doing the polish with a clean cloth in between coats. Either way, it definitely made a big difference and looks much better.

[@RockinProfessor]

@@tristan5428- For a very limited time.....

[@mikeandmars2345]

Thank u

[@heavenlysedated4906]

I used the tire ultra shine for my plastic trimming. See it how goes it's been a week and still has shine to it but for the tires it didn't do a thing

[@RockinProfessor]

Actually, it Works ONCE, until it rains or you wash your vehicle. Then another application over & over again is req'd. Between applications, you'll find it attracts/collects dust and road particles. Merely a topical treatment doomed to fail....You'll use up several bottles of this stuff in the time one application of Cera Coat is still working.....And STILL working.... & still working........Took the Meguires stuff back to Walmart & bought Cera Coat

[@wayd19]

I just bought a bottle for a mustang I just picked up and I think I’m gonna wipe some acetone on the plastic parts before using that stuff. I don’t know for sure but maybe getting rid of all the oil and crap build up on the car may help this work even better or longer. Or it might go really bad. I guess I’m gonna find out.

[@deanyeandle2329]

Try Cartland black trim wax to cover all the spots then go over it again with maguires

[@mckaylablakely8458]

It does say on the bad that it may need 3 or 4 coats if its super faded. But otherwise an excellent review!

[@novares8957]

Nice one buddy

[@OurShowOurStory]

Much appreciated

[@blin762]

Wow! I will definitely be trying this on my 2013 Escape, bought it used and the trim has been faded ever since. Hopefully it darkens it 🙏

[@RockinProfessor]

Don't bother with this greasy topical goo....Use "Cera Coat Trim Coat'....it lasts nearly forever by chemically penetrating/bonding into your plastic/vinyl trim. Found Nothing better.....Used crystal clear Cera Coat on the badly faded bumpers, side mirrors & door handles of my 20 year old GMC truck. Darkens & renews lost gloss. True restoration !

[@marilyngatson2289]

Does it come off on your skin or clothes after it dries? I don't like when it comes off after it is suppose to be dry.

[@nomadvanlifeadventures440]

Try Cerakote next time. More expensive but does not have to be re-applied for a long time, like up to 2 years.

[@OurShowOurStory]

Will definitely look it up soon! Thanks

[@usmc291]

This is the only product that had worked for me on my vehicles I already tried other stuff but nothing really works

[@OurShowOurStory]

We really liked it, but have noticed after 4 months I need to re-apply.

[@JCTXFF]

During my normal monthly wash and clean, I give my ‘05 Avalanche a quick wipe down and it looks good, not great. The Avalanche looks good for a old truck, not new.. I don’t worry about peeling, chipping, or damage to the cladding done during the prep for paint. This method is not a permanent fix, but my opinion it is best for a little extra work.

[@TheWandyrichiez]

I like 👍

[@deanyeandle2329]

Sorry Carplan black trim wax

[@superwalt2159]

Would a light coat of it work for dark grey trim or is this specifically for dark black plastic trim?

[@OurShowOurStory]

It's not color specific

[@dragynnmagickk7332]

I guess you still have to reapply every so often, but I was worried about when it rains, if you had to reapply after it rained every time, it doesn't seem to be the case with this, which is good, thank you for this video I appreciate it😁

[@OurShowOurStory]

It held up for several months, but I actually need to reapply it myself. Good thing is was super simple to do

[@titanfx9156]

It says not to get it on paint. How do you apply it to the trim on the outside of the car without getting it on paint ? Help

[@OurShowOurStory]

It didn't bother the paint at all

[@titanfx9156]

@@OurShowOurStory ok I just did my wheel trim. I just didn’t wanna mess up my car

[@cooterstanbro6246]

Oh wow, mine lasted for at least 6 months

[@kadenforrer6687]

What are the odds, I also have a first gen equinox 😂

[@factuiilatly.r6910]

the thing is meguiars products have a lot of greasy ingredients so once you apply it after the next three months the sun will take the color away from the plastic and will dry off the paint of the plastic

[@factuiilatly.r6910]

it’s always good to look at the ingredients

[@itaiitai8960]

whats the update on the product ?

[@OurShowOurStory]

It had to reapply after about 6 months, but wasn't a big deal. I would probably expect to maintain the look you would have to do that. Since then I traded it in for a jeep...

[@spacemandudley6237]

Suprised that it didn't get darker with another coat. Will this product stain your hands?

[@OurShowOurStory]

Amazingly, no!

[@iangrimm1024]

Hi

[@michaelpast19]

I used that before and the result don’t last , what does work for me and for permanent results is using a propane torch and heat the trim just enough without melting in a left to right motion

[@OurShowOurStory]

The application is simple enough to repeat, I'd love to try the torch but just can't muster up the courage to do it

[@Martin__]

Owatrol Polytrol is better in my experience, last very long. Just pray some on an applicator and apply to the plastic.

[@OurShowOurStory]

I didn't see it on the shelf, do you have to order it?

[@karlevans1225]

Use painter tape and mask the paint.

[@OurShowOurStory]

It didn't seem to affect the paint in any way...

[@oyunknali8987]

very expensive turkhıs

[@desolategrey]

This product is not the best choice it dose not soak in to the plastic furthermore it prevents the next product from penetrating until its soaped off It is a quick fix still searching for a product that actually penetrates the material to give a long term solution I'm getting the exact same situation as you are getting under the headlight where you can actually see the ripples from the injection molding process Good vid thank you Sir

[@OurShowOurStory]

Did you find a better product?

[@desolategrey]

@@OurShowOurStory so far Creakote has been the most effective but not actually penetrating but leaving the surface black evenly the longest
