C4 Permanent Trim Restorer 15ml - Revitalize Tired, Faded, Discoloured Car and Vehicle Trim - Premium Weather Protection, UV Resistant, Leaves No Unattractive Gloss - 2 Year Durability

The short: This works exactly how its described and brings back the factor color to your sun faded plastics. This is not a temp fix which fades the next day (like tire shine), this really does restore it. The long: I actually hesitated on buying this product because of its size and cost. I bottle of trim restore at AutoZone or advance auto is like 8 bucks and comes in a 12 ounce bottle size (350 ml) Quick math would put that at around 3 cents an ounce, This C4 product is 45 dollars for 15ml is around 3 dollars an ounce, literally 100 times as expensive. Well, the thing is I have tired those car shop trim restores before and quite frankly, they are only really good for showing off your car that weekend, or posting it for sale… as the restore last a week tops. In some cases, (with armorall) I found it actually looked worst after some time then before I applied it. Needless to say, I was actually looking for a more permanent solution and didn’t want to go the auto shop route again and found this recommend on a forum, with the post saying this was the only product that actually worked. I saw the results and decided to try it. Prep: First wash your bike or car off completely with a mild soap and water mix, for me It was my bike and I just used a large bowl with a soap water mix and a wash cloth, (this took 10 minutes) Do a quick rinse with some clean (no soap) water and dry it down (5 minutes) Then take some rubbing alcohol and put it on a small cloth and go over all the plastic you are going to restore. If you haven’t used alcohol for cleaning, don’t worry this is one of the few strong cleaning products that actually does no damage to anything (paint or plastics) and evaporates clean. (This took another 5 minutes) Once all cleaned up, put on some gloves and pour just a few drops on to the supplied pads and beginning wiping down one plastic area with it. Be sure to stay just on the plastic and get into all the edges completely. Anything you miss will be obvious you missed it so take your time. This took about 10 minutes each side of my bike (20 total). After your done do a wipe down with the same pads supplied to make sure you don’t have any streaks and add additional to areas that you may need more. For me it was truly one coat and done. I was able to do my full fairing BMW with less than 1 bottle of the 15ml (probably used about 10ml’s) From the time I opened the package to when my bike was completely finished was 40 minutes. If you use up the pads (I only used 4 so I still had ones left over) but if you do, you can use makeup remover pads, just make sure they are just the pads with no remover product applied, they are usually like 5 bucks for 100 of them and can get them at CVS or any grocery store. Once all applied keep it out of the rain for a day and let it sit overnight, next morning your good to go. Its been 2 weeks now since applied, and though I know that isn’t long, its quite clear that it looks exactly how it looked after I applied it to weeks ago. This is already quite noticeably better than any other product I have ever used for restoring. Couple quick points: This is a clear product that simply restores any color back to its original finish, so ifs grey, charcoal, or black it will bring it back to like new. This works on faded and spotted areas as well as sun streaks and over washed areas, which if you’re the type that washers you bike or car regularly you will know that it starts to fade the plastics faster than even the sun does. Last this really works but take your time and prep and apply it as I mentioned, don’t rush and you will have a great looking product. Hope that helps!

good product. easy application and workds

I’ve tried SO many black trim restorers, spent untold dollars on products that failed to work. Most would give a new trim look for a couple days, and then fade away. Some were just greasy oils that didn’t do anything the actual plastic trim to remove the oxidation This product changes the game! For the price, I was skeptical it figured it couldn’t hurt. From the very first application spot, I noticed an immediate difference. It went on very easily and goes a long way. This actually absorbs into the plastic trim and makes it look brand new. Other products simply lay on top and give a fake shine. It’s been 3 weeks since i applied this to my 2018F-150 and it still looks factory fresh. My trim was that faded grey color that trim gets and this product FINALLY does what it says it will. I immediately bought the larger bottle to do my wife’s car as she actually noticed the truck trim!! Stop with the weekly “back to black” products out there…. THIS will be the last one your ever need!

Very good. I was able to cover the areas that needed covering quickly. I did need to go over it 2 times as it was really gray. As for the time it will last, we shall see. Its going to be in the 100's this week so if it fades I will not be happy.

Super product! I’ve tried a few different trim restore products. Some worked, but none lasted. Would look great when I finished but two days later, gone. This is the first product I have used that has lasted more than a few days. It’s been 10 days now, and looks as good as the day I applied it. Just ordered another bottle for my wife’s car. It’s pricey, but worth it if you want great results.

This product beyond exceeded my expectations! It’s unbelievable the difference it makes on the trim of my RAV4

This is such a big waste of money. The container is micro and it's the same as each. Any regular trim restorer product that you would buy for like $10 for a big spray bottle? Don't follow for the marketing scam

excellent product. 1 tiny bottle covers my entire Sprinter 2500 plastics. Easy to apply. Looks great. lasts a long time.

Très bon produit. Novateur par sa capacité de restoration des plastiques ternis par les agents agressifs. Toutefois, les pads d'application sont de piètres qualité, j'ai pour ma part confectionner ceux-xi avec des chiffons en fibres très fines

El artículo es maravilloso, restaura por completo la pieza de plastico. Lo volveré a comprar!

Der letzte Schrott, jedenfalls bei mir. Ich habe mir das Coating für die Plastik Windlaufabdeckung geholt, um diesen ein bisschen extra UV Schutz zu verleihen. Angewandt wie in der Anleitung beschrieben und 14 Stunden "ziehen" lassen. Nach diesen 14 Stunden war das Ergebnis: fleckig und extrem glänzend. Ich konnte das Coating einfach mit etwas Isopropanol wieder abwischen. Erstaunlich. Nun habe ich 1 Stunde die Teile poliert und bin da wo ich vorher war. Nur 40 Euro ärmer.

This stuff is amazing - a tiny amount on a pad and rub it into the trim and it turns it instantly back to a really nice black, buff with a cloth and its done , and no sticky residue either which seemed to be a problem with some other similar products. The black plastic trim / rubber door seals etc.. on my 09 Civic were mostly very grey and looked terrible but a few minutes with this product and it looks almost like new - the trim and rubber seals are all a really nice smooth black again and so far I see no signs of any residue or blotches or any other issues - it's only been a couple of days so far so time will tell if it lasts or if any issues arise, but so far it has transformed the appearance of the car and I am very pleased indeed. Yes it's expensive but it only required a tiny amount for all the plastic on my car, the bottle is still almost full. Assuming the color lasts and no issues appear then it was very much worth the money. If any issues develop then i'll adjust my review accordingly.
