Cerakote seem to look great once it was on but I didn’t think the wipes were very moist or lasted anywhere as long as reviewed?

[@randalalansmith9883]

Cerakote was the only one that restored the color after the 5-day cooking. But it looks like dressing on plastic, instead of restoring to factory look. It has a conspicuous shine like it's coated with olive oil just before leaving the garage. Must be some way to apply it without leaving brush strokes.

Instead of the Cerakote headlight restoration, wet sand with 600 grit to remove the oxidized clear coat, then 1200 to reduce the scratches to a haze. Mask everywhere but the headlight. Solvent wipe to remove dust and spray with a two part (2K) clear coat in a can from Eastwood, USC Spraymax, etc. Three light coats ten minutes apart. ChrisFix and Paint Society have good KZbin videos.

Great video as always, I would just point out one thing for everyone who's planning to use Cerakote, Cerakote is great but guys remember one thing, make sure you are putting it on the plastic that's not painted, use it only on trims that are "pure plastic" so to speak, don't use it on the trim that might have clearcoat or something on it, like the shiny plastics under the hood most likely have some kind of clear coat, I made that mistake and messed entire engine bay up, I had to repaint everything. If you want to be safe use other stuff that Mr. Farm reviewed, they won't damage anything.

I'm surprised that the 303 did so poorly. I use it on my car (23K miles old, garaged 95% of the time) and have had great results. It's the last step on washing and detailing. Perhaps the condition of the plastic on the truck plays a major factor. Another great video. Thanks.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@errhka]

I've found you have to go over multiple times with 303 - sometimes as many as 4 passes to get a lasting black matte finish. It seems to soak into the plastic that first swipe. However it still protects even after 1 pass which is its main purpose at the end of the day - its just not the best trim restorer for longevity

Wow... I'm a huge fan of 303... was surprised to see how poorly it did on exterior pieces. I use it for the low gloss interior look. Great tip on the Chemical Guys stuff. That Cerakote stuff was amazing. Nice test. Great channel.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much!

[@bradhill5822]

Trey Scudder I too have been a fan of 303, in fact I have gallon jugs of both the Multi -Surface Cleaner and Protectant. I know in the firearms world Cerakote is a leader in high quality coatings. Cerakote applied to a firearm provides an extremely durable finish, that is heat and abrasion resistant. I’m definitely purchasing Cerakote, anyone want to buy some partially used gallon jugs of 303 products? 😜

[@TheWwong]

@@bradhill5822 I have to use up the gallon of 303 that I have at present! Really like the 303 especially on car door weather stripping and tires, but will have to consider the Cerakote for outside plastic trim after watching this.

Best tire dressing and best windshield water repellent videos would be nice to see. Thank you for making these vids, I enjoy watching them and appreciate the effort you put into designing and executing the tests.

Projet Farm, Mr. Todd. You are “The” go to guy for anybody wanting honest reviews of products. Great job! Just detailed my 2018 Tacoma today and the black plastic on back bumper is almost white!!! Cerakote is on my shopping list. Thank you so much. Mahalo 🤙

FYI: After researching trim restorer products and watching this video, I decided to try the Cerakote Trim kit on my Subaru Outback. It is guaranteed for 2 years or 200 washes, was easy to use, and looked great. It has now endured a full year here in the Pacific Northwest weather with a lot of rain, 100 degree temps down to below freezing, freeways & gravel roads, and the trim still looks like brand new!!!!! Thanks for your great videos 🙂

I have Mother's back to black that was sitting in my garage for more than 10 years. I used it to treat the windshield wiper area and now looks like new. The one I have comes in a plastic bottle, none of that spray nonsense. Thank you for your videos, they're very informative, entertaining and well put together. You must be exhausted 😊

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome!

[@rbarr775]

Same here. I use the Back to Black on motorcycles, so the aerosol would be out of the question! I'd have to spend hours masking off components. The squeeze bottle lasts a very long time and does a respectable job. Great comparison test!

[@mtnbiker014]

I’ve been using Mother’s Back to Black aerosol on various vehicles with very good results. These tests show it’s better than most of the competition and because it’s aerosol it is extremely convenient to use, especially on textured surfaces.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@Magellan678]

Wow I was really shocked to see how 303 performed in your test. I’ve been using it for over a decade and loved it!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@yoloman9998]

303 is great, it's real application is for preventative maintenance or to protect. It's not really a restorer. I used it on my previous car for a decade and kept the trims inside and outside almost as good as new. I always got complimented how well I kept that car, it was really 303 doing the job.

[@Mike-hb4pc]

@@yoloman9998 I agree. And I have never used an easier product to apply. I don't care how sloppy you are applying it, come back a few hours later and it looks perfect! I love it.

Did the strong smell bother you even outside?

[@jackenrod6794]

Cerakote crushed it on my 39 year old Volkswagen. Probably the first generation of cars to use black plastic cladding on the bumpers. I was using 303. Just didn’t last and would become hazy white-ish. Cerakote immediately restored as new look. Needed two coats, but plenty of wipes left over. Inexpensive too. This is a great comparison. I will use this stuff on my much newer vehicles. Thank you.

WE LOVE PROJECT FARM!!! Video idea: test different types of nails for siding/holding up fence pickets. Test to see which one have the most strength, and hold up best against corrosion/rust.

[@garysouza2277]

Me too. Been using it on the interior of my vehicles and my inflatable boat forever. Seems to last quite a while on the interior trim.

[@danboom101]

I was honestly shocked. I have a fairly new vehicle that I religiously wash and treat with the 303 and it lasts at minimum a month with a beautiful deep black gloss. I suppose once the plastic is highly porous it doesn't do as well.

[@eppyz]

Don't be disappointed. 303 I have used for many years too. It is just a different type of product than many of the ones tested here. 303 is a preservative. Its meant to keep the rubber supple and pliable over the years. With continued use, the rubber will stay in very good shape. Whereas these other products are meant to restore plastics that are already beaten. So yes 303 won't really help rubber or plastics in poor condition. So if your looking for just the gloss and the new look for an old car 303 won't be your best choice. But if you have a new car or newer car, and apply 303 often, in 10 yrs your rubber will still look the same and still be pliable. I hope I am making sense? Just different type of products for different type of uses. Also, what I like about 303 is if it gets on the paint or glass by accident, it comes off very easily. Many of these other products used especially the ceramic products are a PITA to get off paint and glass.

[@sharpen047]

Was going to recommend the same product. Been detailing cars for years. My go to is cerakote

[@S.0.G]

sharpen047 It’s very pricey! I see it carries 10 separate wipes. How many wipes does it take for one complete car?

[@crjlife_9082]

I can do two vehicles with the cerakote kit. And the results are near permanent. Usually lasts several years. 303 is great for your interior trims as it does not leave residue and has high uv resistance. I'm not sure it was ever designed for restoration purposes and exterior use.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@whitewolfpack0]

I don't claim to know either way, but it seems like if it has high UV resistance then it would be intended for exterior use (or both inside and outside) since the inside of the car gets comparatively little UV due to the windows and roof blocking the majority of UV rays coming into the vehicle. Not to say it gets none, but windows block something like 97% of UV.

[@drzflyest4]

​@@whitewolfpack0problem is its water based. It really does well on the interior.

[@BabyGangsterIsMe]

why not use UV sunblock for skin and apply to interior plastic ? it works for me bc it has high UV protection

[@EliminatorPerformance]

One product that I really like is Poorboy's World Trim Restorer. You scrub it in with a foam applicator until it stops foaming and then wipe it off. Works extremely well.

[@wyattb995]

I’ve used the cerakote product in the past, honestly it did pretty well overall aside from highlighting some splotchy areas and making them kinda brown. On new and perfectly cleaned trim I could see it being hands down the best consumer level product out there. Especially after seeing the tests here. Can’t say it lasted well on my trim as I wasn’t able to let it cure as directed and traded in the car shortly after applying.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@tinamcgarrah7794]

Slick Trick Wyatt, doing the quick cleanup tricks the auto sellers do to us, to them first...Obviously this is the wise move most folks do before a trade in or sale. But not all, I've seen some unbelievable filthy condition cars the seller pulls in for the trade in evaluation. And of course complain it's way too low of an offer.....Project Farm is addictive watching and is the layman's new Consumer Reports. But we'll still let them test Cars and Trucks and other high priced items like washing machines, dishwashers etc. Project would lose the "Farm" trying those items. Chuckle Chuckle 😃

[@andrewmcgill4957]

@@ProjectFarm Any idea why you can't apply CeraKote to painted plastics? Has anyone tried this?

[@nebraskaman8247]

One thing I found that works extremely well, and doesn’t end up leaving that white look is Amsoil silicone spray. I have tried some cheap silicone spray from normal auto parts stores, and it’s performance was not very good. The Amsoil silicone spray lasts a longs time. Only downside is it takes a while to apply. I’ve found it works best applied to a cloth, and wiping it on. Once applied though, you rarely need to reapply it to keep the deep black shiny look. I also apply it to rubber gaskets around doors, and windows. Also, you can spray it on rubber boots on your axles or tie rods to keep the rubber hydrated, and crack free.

[@redteamla]

Where did you buy this? I can't find it in any stores in Los Angeles

[@chriswilson9331]

From my own experience. I used the CeraKote Ceramic trim coat on my plastics and six months later, they still look brand new. I live in a quite dusty environment & we had a very wet winter. That stuff is amazing!

Thanks for the feedback.

[@monkeymanstones1]

I'm still a very happy Mother's California Gold and Zymol user, but that Cerakote certainly did work extremely well (except I don't care for a "Wet" look). The Mothers Back to Black you had is one I've never seen before. The Back to Black I have is in a white liquid form (but it doesn't stand up to water for very long). A great test set today!
