Restore and fix faded plastic trim on your car 

Mothers back to black is a really good choice for plastic and rubber. 9 bucks for a bottle at walmart, lasted for my entire car. Not as black as spray paint would be, but a lot less risky to use since you can wipe it up with soapy water and shouldn't need to mask off anything. Worked wonders for my 05 CR-V.

I don't clean my place. But I have spent 20 hours straight detailing my motorcycle.

Liquid shoe polish does the same thing I’ve used it for years and much cheaper.

I was skeptical about how good this product would be. I got some through an online source to try out. I did the recommended cleaning of the plastic trim on a 1999 Honda C-RV that had never had any treatment since new. The front and back bumper cover were near white after cleaning. I used denatured alcohol to wipe down with prior to applying the trim coat. I put two coatings on the rear bumper cover and the transformation was dramatic to say the least. From a near white/gray to a vivid black color. I did use an old toothbrush to get into the seams where the rag would not reach to cover those areas. This product is not cheap but then neither is the quality you get from the results of using this trim coat from DK. Spend the money get the right product the first time you won't be disappointed!

Good vid. Thanks. I've used black spray paint before & it lasted forever. Just an idea ...

6:02 - I can appreciate a guy that passionate about his work! Good video buddy

Looks like a little didn't go a long way

I watched 10 trim restoration videos. 10 different solutions, each one apparently the best. Who do I believe?

I would recommend taking the tape off as a final shot. In all GREAT vid. Very informative. Thx!

Honey I really want this car even though it has over 234K miles on it. I just can't get over how great the door handles look. take my money used car salesman

I'm thinking this would work great for my faded windshield wipers and truck bed liner. Very nice results, thanks for sharing.

I much prefer solution finish for this type of stuff. One tip of the open bottle on applicator will cover almost a whole bumper. As a plus, it won't hurt paint and just wipes right off paintwork. No tape needed and fully black most times in one application. That seemed like a whole lot for a door handle lol. But thanks for the video. Always appreciate seeing other products

You gotta luv RU-vid where everyone's an expert and a social critic. Let's see your helpful video.

I dyed the windows aswell.worked great!

Thank you for making this video Keep up the excellent work. I'm impressed.

Didn't even know that these products existed, thank you. Need this in Arizona.

Surpreendente!! Congratulations.

ChrisFix has a recent video about using a ceramic coating for paint, for hard unpainted plastic. I use Turtle Wax Trim Restorer every few months, and sometimes a layer of Nu Finish polish on top.

Just used this on my wife's car. I honestly don't like the way it dries fast. I'm glad I tested it before I used it on a customers car first. I will stick with car pro pearl for a dressing or solution finish for a permanent fix. A little also doesn't go a long way "for me at least" if you try to stretch the product out it will dry to fast then streak and you have to apply another coat until you get it right.

Ok. Just an advert for his products. "Talk to our sales reps ..."

I use Industrial Strength Silicone Lubricant to shine up and restore my plastics. Works like a charm.

FYI..used this on my golf cart and got some on the vinyl and the plastic not realizing it until it was dry. Diluted DK Magic sprayed on a clean rag, and it came right off!! We LOVE Magic!!

DUUUUDE!!!! THANKYOU!!!!! I've been going over all sorts of options to restore the bumpers on my trailblazer but I think I'm going to give this a shot I was about to try the heat gun method but I'd rather do this just to be safe!!!❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁

I have a fat marker for large areas or Sharpie for the hard to reach places ;) LOL

I normally use cheap mat black spray paint for these kind of work and it works

it takes that much for just a door handle?!

I used olive oil on my fiance's Hyundai very light handedly and that was 2 months ago and it looks great, no dust or dirt accumulation either

Great video! Thanks for sharing👍🏻

Nice job in your video. What do you suggest for scratched Plastic (ABS) trim?

The best way to remove, not cover up wax that gets in your plastic trim is a simple pink pencil eraser. It takes some elbow grease but try it, you'll thank me I promise.

Forever Black works very nice on that faded black trim!

Between 6:02 and 6:08 the masking tape changes... Is this just a magicians trick? 🤔🤔🤔

I thought I was watching a video of a tried and true trim restorer, until he said “our” lol

my suv has silver over spray all over it cuz my person said i could just use lacquer thinner to clean it off..yet paint turned out fabulous looking so before i use your product what do you recommend?

Hi, Can you use the same product to treat scratches in the interior? Thanks!

can it be applied to interior trim panels? for instance center consoles or lower dash panels that get pretty dull with age

great information, got your self a new subscriber

Should you tape off the lock, just in case?

Does it work on black rubber trims around the windows?

I use stuff called wipe-new, it makes your faded plastic trim look brand new and almost as glossy as glass.

Use a damp rag with armor all, if you really want that black plastic to shine, a damp rag with a little bit of clean motor oil.

303 aerospace protection. It's great for rubber, vinyl, plastic and more. Just did a couple of 20$ tires from pick n pull and they look brand new. Was gonna send a pic but didnt work.

Super Heroes on Wheels in Bandera Texas uses automatic transmission fluid. Works very well and lasts at least 6 mos.

Do you plan to add a dark brown? I have a Volvo V70XC in need of some TLC. Thx-

What is the name of the dye. Thanks for video. Vary helpful

Good stuff. Thank you

Hey thanks for sharing. That is a great tip. What is the name of the dye?

Looks very much like quadrons old stock they used to have in the 90s? I used to use this very same kit when at Ferrari egham ?

I like a gradual transition from grey to black

Never knew under the sun was so cloudy.

Is it just me or does the "Trim Revival" just cover the fact that the black stuff fades as it dries?

How long did you wait for the dye dry before rubbing the finishing paste on?

Thanks for the video. Couldn't help but notice the ignorant comments.... listen to the electronic courage that would never be said in person !

Nice job so is the heat gun fix a temporary fix

Use 50+ sun screen cream works a treat on black plastic trim

This stuff looks similar to the griots garage bumper and trim restorer. Unfortunately they changed their formula from a liquid to a gel and I haven't heard good things about it. I'm using the last of my (liquid)bottle sparingly, but from the looks of it , I may have found a replacement! That stuff lasted 2-3-4yrs I'll attest to it.

Do you have anything for the rubber by the window glass?

Excellent video. Thank you

I use tire black for my plastic and bumper trimmings

loooooool good solution to sell your product

Can you use the product on tires?

How is this product for the interior faded black door panels where the door handles are? Please let me know.

Do these things just give a look or does it actually fix the problem, there’s a difference between looking and actually being back to how it should

What a salesman! I don't like commercials.

no before n after side by side pic at the end????

I used, under car rubberized coating, lasts longer and has a cool texture.

I'm so glad my old cars are made of metal, not plastic..

how long does it need to cure before getting wet... like rain.. dew... first wash

I have a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee with lots of plastic trim around it. It's all dark grey but can I use the black to change the color or will the grey show through?

Can you do a vid on conditioning leather and suede seats without getting the conditioner on the suede?

thanks!

black liquid shoe polish. much cheaper and the results are amazing.

Have you tried a heat gun instead? It should surface the oils in the plastic - and bring back the original luster.

Oh look overpriced shoe polish...

Just use black spray paint for auto plastic. Cheaper and last a lot longer. Re sprayed my Jeep's plastic after 5 years I've used flat. Put a satin finish this round, looks new. Cheap roll of painters tape, old newspapers, $5.00 worth of paint.

Can this be applied on windows black rubber trim too?

looks better then new

Is this product the same or as good as the discontinued Showroom New Grey Trim Dye? Also do you have a Plastic Conditioner similar to the Showroom New Conditioner?

Could just mask up and use black paint for plastic and use a matte clear coat for plastic! 🤔 some door handles are very easy to remove.

*🌞We🗺color coat🌌it or put on Chrome covers👍🏾*

Would you recommend this for jeep fenders and bumpers or is there another product?

Thank you for the video. Its pretty sad when people have to knock something like this..so on the serious side, a question. I have a Mustang GT California Special which has black valences on the back and front as part of the lower bumper. They have faded and I am tired of GLOSSY 1 week shines. Will this restore their look ? I am not looking for GLOSS...I am looking for uniform fresh look ...thanks again

Black shoe polish, Pam pan spray, coconut oil - those are all the best products for this

I actually just plasti dip all my old trim pieces and it lasts pretty long too.

If you want to do this then take a heat gun and heat the plastic up a little bit and then it will have the factory new black it's all free and fast way easier to do and doesnt require any elbow grease

I would love to know how to fix the outside door bumper guards on my white car. The thin white vertical strips on the door are now rust colored...

How often can one use it in there hair?

good job and vdo. Could have been much better if you would have peeled off those tapes and shown. And also one shot of before and after of that handle. Good job though.

dressing plastic is a thing of the past, polishing is where its at. looks better and last much longer. like anything, longevity of the polish is is determined on owners wash/detail schedule.

where i can buy?

Does it also work on smooth finish plastic or does it have too be the slightly rougher surface style?

stupid question sorry..... I found this video searching for a way to remove wax from the trip like a plastic bumper. does the instructions and products work to remove the wax? does the wax even need to be removed and this covers it perfectly? if recommended removing wax first and if so, your opinion on HOW to remove wax? I see many suggestions like peanut butter or an eraser. thank you!

Have you ever tried the heat gun message?

was cleaning my engine with a degreaser it was too strong it left whitish stains on the radiator cover also black plastic how can i remove or with what??

Buy WipeNew- works great and lasts for years.

i didn't use tape when i did this.....is it bad if a little gets on the paint around it? i didn't use the black thing you were using.....i just used one i bought on amazon. its not a permanant thing so wanted to know if it's really bad for the paint if i keep getting it on the paint.

How do you get the Trim Coat off the door lock ?

Liquid black shoe polish will give that same results.

expecially. i love that word.

would it look good on a whole bumper? i have a lot of plastic on my 2003 GMC Sierra ( back of mirrors, both front and back bumper and some on my grill) we are talking lots of surface area..... so my question would it be consistent?
