Solution Finish Black Trim Restorer Kit, 12 Fl Oz

For years I have been applying different plastic restorers every 6 months, some of them quite expensive, but this one is by far the best of all. I used it on all the bumpers and trim of my 2017 Winnebago Travato 59G and the result is incredible; the plastics look brand new. ​For perfect results, I recommend washing the vehicle thoroughly and then cleaning the plastic parts with 99% rubbing alcohol before applying so the product penetrates really well. It is easy to use: just apply it and wipe off the excess immediately with a dry cloth. I accidentally got a little on the metallic paint, but I wiped it off right away and it didn't leave a stain. I bought the 12 oz bottle and a little goes a long way. I recommend it 100%!

Incredible simple to use with great results. I just took my car through the car wash and then used a bucket with soap and a brush to scrub the trim before applying. Make sure all spots are dry. I used a cotton swab for hard to reach areas. Really easy to get off of the paint if you accidentally get some on it. My Bronco Sport has a TON of black trim and this brought it back to life so quickly after being faded by the Texas sun. I could easily use this bottle for 4 more applications. Great value. No smell. It is greasy during the application but that goes away as it dries. Will update this review with longevity and durability.

This is the real deal. Work exactly how it said. Very happy with the product.

Unbelievably good product. I bought a 2008 Jeep with pretty severe oxidation on the black plastic exterior. This truck looks like new! The product is a little messy so definitely use the gloves provided but basically pretty simple to apply. I'm just blown away by the result. I did the entire Jeep and used less than 1/3 of the bottle.

I used this to restore the "rubbermade bumpers" on my 2006 Honda Element. The product did as advertised turning the streaked, faded plastic a nice dark black color again. The car looks brand new! I cant speak to the longevity of it yet, but it retained its color through the first wash and my main goal was to darken and even out the color. PREPARATION: -This is a black stain, so there was a lot of preparation involved not to make a mess or get dark marks where you don't want it. I spent a lot of time getting the plastic spotlessly clean. Washed, scrubbed and cleaned with alcohol, then rinsed and dried again until no dirt was coming off. I suspect some of the people complaining that this didn't work or that it went back to dull grey after getting wet did not clean the surfaces enough beforehand. Porous materials and light grey plastic will need to be completely masked off. It wipes off of gloss paint very easily - so I disagree you need to mask the color-coat. APPLICATION: Yes- its messy. You need gloves and a lot disposable towels. I did not use the applicator supplied with the kit- its too large for precise application IMO. I used a set of disposable foam brushes in several sizes that could be used more precisely and could get inside any edges to the moldings. A little goes a long way, and its best to apply as thin a coat as possible and wipe off excess. Any towels you use will be trash afterwards. A day later when I could see a few thin spots I just reapplied to even it out. FOLLOW UP: This did not dry out as quickly as I expected. I had to keep a roll of paper towels handy and kept wiping down any suspicious areas. I was still getting black schmutz wiping off for a few days, so there is a danger of staining your clothes if you brush up against it before it cures. I would NOT use this on the interior of my car for that reason, unless it was a floor mat that could be removed and left out to be completely dry/free of transfer danger. VALUE- This large bottle will last FOREVER and I would have preferred not to buy the "kit". My vehicle has a huge amount of plastic, but I used only a tiny portion. I guess the value is good given this is a lifetime supply? I tried in vain to find the smaller bottle sold alone. It's sold out everywhere for obvious reasons. 6 months later: The plastic is still a nice dark color. Again- I think that proper preparation is important if you want this to work properly.

On heavily faded plastic....I mean HEAVILY FADED, there's no amount of any product that will restore the plastic to black. I realized that only a small portion of the plastic on my 2004 F150 was heavily faded, so I used a primer + black spray paint for those areas. This product is actually excellent for the plastic grill, the mirrors, the body armor around the cab and pick-up area and it lasts! The vehicle has been through 4 washes at a car-wash that is an intense one and there is no fading or deterioration of the product. It takes VERY little of the product to restore the black plastic, so I have more than 2/3 of the bottle left over if I need it. My recommendation is to clean the area to be treated with 95% rubbing alcohol first, wait for it to dry and do it again. Once dry, wipe this on and let it sit for a day. Once it's been on there, I used a micro-fiber towel and went over it gently and it looks like new. If you use too much product it will look like that when it dries, so don't let it puddle. I also recommend NOT to use anything but high-quality rubber gloves (the ones enclosed are great). Your hands will turn black if you try to do it without gloves. Great product!

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ... if you intend to use it within proximity of auto glass. It will adhere a stubborn polymer-and-oil film to your glass that cannot, under any circumstances, be merely wiped off. This product came into contact with my auto glass for less that 120 seconds, and I have now been scraping, with a razor blade, this film off my window for over an hour, slowly, gently, pass after pass, and it is coming off very arduously. This product does not prominently warn of these adverse effects to your auto glass. I am livid. I am infuriated. I think the manufacturers of this product owe me a refund and perhaps they should even pay for a professional to remove this stubborn film.

Easy to apply. Very good results on our golf cart..

I was looking for a product that would restore the black plastic on my vehicle without the need to go to a car detailing company. This product was found and it looked like it would do what I was expecting so I ordered. I have subsequently received the product and used and the results are pretty good. I was amazed how easy it was to apply and the end results brings the plastic back to near new, impressive. I will definitely be ordering another supply to ensure I can continue to apply when needed. Another great product.
