This Product Worked To Restore The Horrible Plastic Trim On Our Auction Minivan!!

[@apexdetail85]

What is your favorite plastic trim restore/protectant?

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

I use Solutions Finish and Sem trim paint for heavily oxidized trim like that on Jeeps or Honda Element

[@anguslean4058]

Solution finish works well they also now have a sealant that you put on once the product completely drys.

[@riccochet704]

As a man of many Jeeps I use Forever Black. It's a dye, not a restorer or protectant. 1-2 coats on the most faded of faded Mopar plastic and it's blacker than new. I'll let it cure for 24 hours and then apply Cerakote over it to lock it in. I've also use it on Wrangler door handles. As you know they are a fiber reinforced plastic, it works just the same. Look new afterwards.

[@trifin5772]

Ceramic coating… DIY do one with a black dye. Maybe I’m missing something but it’s way better than a dressing and way less hassle than spray cans.

[@404notfound.....]

For me it's solutions finish or cerakote.

[@Rocheman79]

Definitely a Cerakote guy here

[@williampinchbeck4321]

Cerecoat works for me!! Thanks Brian!!

[@ScottBivens-h6t]

Definitely the SEM trim black, a "go to" for many years

[@onrdetailingnews802]

Apex detail what up buddy great 👍 video tfs

[@dougmasters3875]

I'm a Solution Finish guy, but also a big fan of the SEM Trim Black and Ultra Trim Black. I usually use an Adhesion Promoter with the SEM. The bed trim on my black 2002 F250 is naturally a dark gray, lots of scrubbing and Ultra Trim Black were the perfect solution to get those to black and long lasting.

Brian its nice having u back

[@apexdetail85]

Great to be back!

[@elonsus9747]

I used Solution Finish on my 05’ Xterra. It worked great on all the plastics. It’s been at least 3 weeks and so far so good.

[@bigd9848]

Ceraokote is a good brand. I used the Adams black trim restorer.You did a beautiful job on the trim Brian 👊🏼💎Every video you have in your video library has explained most of every subject on detailing. I know you have many on trim restorer.Great video as always Brian 🛞

[@MNpicker]

Awesome stuff Brian!! Really digging this stuff 👌🏻

[@richardseem7948]

Amazing video and tutorial good friend

[@davestewart9146]

Looks great, thanks Brian 👍😁

[@fsggibson1171]

I like the Cerakote Trim Restore (It's the only one I've tried). I like that it is not dyed. I used it on a 20 year old Honda Element with grey trim. It did a great job restoring and removing tiger striping. I wish it came in a bottle to be used with an applicator rather than the wet-naps. edit: I just saw that it does comes in a bottle.

[@rleger123]

Nice video! Nicely done

[@acts2211]

Great video Brian thanks

[@kimnewling5728]

Nice looking work. I dont have a favorite yet.

[@edwarddunk2731]

For me, 303 Airospace from the git-go so it never git’s to that condition. 👍 Great video.

[@dtna]

Thanks, Brian. I didn't know that you could use a steamer on black plastic.

[@eamonkelly2792]

Great video Brian 👍👍

[@norcalspitshine6406]

Nice

[@ryanbehrmann3453]

Have you tried DIY detail trim restore and protect?

[@trifin5772]

That’s what I thought… seems like a top product. I’ve used ceramics on trim and they are great but that diy product looks even better with the dye.

[@RayNLA]

No

[@andrewmcglashan5041]

Gyeon Trim👍

[@mikekniess9937]

Brian have ever tried DIY spray polish it can help remove oxidation on plastic trim

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

I have those painted side moldings - that apparently the clear is flaking off - white haze that I polish off once a week on my garaged car - is there a product for that?

[@apexdetail85]

I just re clear them with Diamont clear 2K

[@shooterjohn7163]

Looks great Brian, how is the wrist doing? I’m a paint guy too and the Cerakote is hard to beat for ease of use and effectiveness… John

[@apexdetail85]

Better every day. Working on strength and range of motion.

[@richardseem7948]

[@apexdetail85]

[@richardseem7948]

[@richardseem7948]

Cant remember how long its been when i was able to kneal on the ground. Guess thats y im getting my knee replaced in 21 days.😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@apexdetail85]

All the best to you.....speedy recovery!

[@lukejackson9848]

Beginner here. So all the trim restore products fail? Go straight to the paint and save yourself time? Am I missing something?

[@joeschmoe6908]

Yes. In many/most cases they don't fail. The paint requires masking and drying time, and leaves a slightly altered finish. It's also more expensive. Even in this particular case I would bet that a few extra layers of solution finish would do the job, especially if applied wet and left to soak in for a few minutes.

[@apexdetail85]

A high percentage of the trim can be restored with the products tried first. For these horrible zebra looking injection mold plastic pieces....I go straight for the trim paint.

[@bartfox9187]

Has anyone tried Cerakote trim on painted panels ?

[@SandS-Mobile-Detailing]

I’m surprised you didn’t use the heat gun method of restoration

[@apexdetail85]

The oxidation comes back rather quickly.....but yes....another option.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

First!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@volodymyrn.7748]

what about gloss plastic trim? how to restore?

[@apexdetail85]

Like the B-Pillars?

[@johnwalters878]

I really want to like Solution Finish, but I think it’s a very over rated product

[@MeliorIlle]

Your name change is kind of alarming. Hope you stick to car detailing and reviewing products.

[@apexdetail85]

That will be 80% of the content. The auction will give us plenty of test subjects to work on.
