So the good news is I live in beautiful sunny florida right near the ocean. The bad news is it plays hell on the black trim around my windows as well as most black plastic/rubber parts on the exterior of the truck. They are not ripped up or rough or anything. they still appear new, except for the fact that they are starting to fade and are not shiney black lilke I want them.
I put like Mcquires quick shine and stuff like that on them and it helps for a day or so, but thats it.
What can I use to restore the black stuff? Thanks

 

alot of people on here use poorboys trim restore

Try poorboys trim restorer first because that is one of the best. I did hear it doesn't work as well on smoth trim as it does on textured trim such as the bed caps. But try it out. Make sure you do everything right and use a couple coats.

 

I love seeing Poorboys recommendations.

I too like PB TR however you have to learn how to use it...like any product it has its own characteristics. After application, make sure it's dry.

Two other products to recommend.

303 Aerospace
Megs Hyperdressing

303 will run if applied to thick but again, learning curve on the product.
Hyperdredssing, what can i say, its versatile and works well in this application.

Showroom New Restorer Black, is a great product IF the product is already dead.

 

I use RainX Fast Wax Liquid Formula with a wet towel when I wash my truck. It soaks in and though it's not super shiny it conditions and protects the rubber or plastic you put it on and does buff up to a natural looking shine when it dries.
It also last for weeks and repels water.

 

I know a lot of guys around here knock it, but I've always had great luck with Mother's "Back-To-Black" product. I've never had the trouble of the product running that some people have complained about, and it keeps my plastic trim looking fantastic year-after-year......

In fact, the last time I detailed my wife's Escape (lots of exterior plastic trim) I tried an aerosol Stoner's product just to see if I was missing something. HATED IT! Went back to the "Back-To-Black" this time around and the plastic trim once again looks brand new!

 

This sentence is confusing. Could you explain?

 

sure I will play along....

I was using "dead" as an expression to explain, faded, cracked, chalked...not shinny, rough, peeling, speckled, worn out, not new trim.

We on track now?

 

My nephew had a bottle of Megs Gold Class Trim Detailer kicking around - I just used it and it did a decent job.

 

I really was joking to see if you were a good sport but your sentence was gramatically incorrect and....confusing?

It read, "Showroom New Restorer Black, is a great product IF the product is already dead."

When it should have been, Showroom New Restorer Black, is a great product IF the product USED is already dead.
Yes?

The reader would need to assume what you meant.
You took the time to correct me for the same type of mistake.
We all make mistakes yes?

 

I think he meant: Showroom New Restorer Black, is a great product IF the rubber trim is already dead. If we are gettin all technical.

Tic

 

Wow!

 

Yes that is correct, that is what it should have been.

If anyone should know how to use this product its Ticman.

 

I am a good sport thus you should be too, looks like you are. This section of the forum is not the GD section. While we do poke fun and joke around, its about one topic. We are all here to help and learn.
