Ok, what is the best longest lasting trim restorer?

Refinish Restorer looks interesting. The PDF I found online says that it has a yellow tint to it so it should not be applied to white or light colors. It also says do not use it on rubber. This stuff sounds a lot like the products people are using over in the headlight restoration thred, where the clear is being sprayed. This might just be a urethane?

Thankfully my avalanche doesn't have the cladding on the sides like a lot of them do. I only have to worry about the rear section. But it's still a lot.

I used 303 as it is all I had up here in Stewart. I let him know it would not.last, but it looks good.

I have an Avalanche and am currently using UTTG+. It is the best so far, I too have tried several products just to be disappointed in their results. Look forward to your test results Seajay.
 
used some of my C4 this weekend was surprised how far it went you only use a small dap of the stuff on each part, can easy do another car with it possibly a 3rd. The cowl used the most with a few daps. Goes on very easy, was done on a new car. If I only have to do this every 2 years this is worth the price, I hate doing exterior trim almost every time I wash. I have to say Optimum trim and tire guard works well but I am always looking for sometime longer lasting. I had UTTG on my car all winter and hardly looks like its worn down with over 5 months since being applied.
 
The car was a 2011 Honda Accord Coupe. Did the cowl (including under the hood), inside fuel filler, mirror surrounds, around window trim, the black rain gutters on the roof, splash guards, trim inside tailights by trunk, and parts of the grills. Used a little more then a quarter of the bottle. I will be using it on my Si Coupe on the same areas.
 
Have to agree that the Ultima trim guard is my favorite, but I have not tried many professional trim products. It keeps your car's plastic looking new, not like it's coated in tire shine compound. I did an entire chevy astro with square yards of black matte trim with about 1-2 tablespoons; longevity is great so far this winter (much better than a silicon product). I figure I could get about 15-20 complete applications (30-40 touch-ups) out of a bottle (which costs $21 here on AG if I remember right). Not cheap, but not bad.
 
This may be off the topic of the C4...

But I wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be doing a write up soon doing a test between, UTTG, Black Wow, and RaggTopp vinyl protection on my Avalanche. As I mentioned earlier I've been trying to find something that will not run and will darken the plastics on the back of my truck (I don't have side cladding). So, the rain is suppose to give up hopefully on Thursday here. I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures and do a side by side test of all 3 products.
