Best Hands Down Trim Restorer Hands Down ?????

Have you tried this yet? Did the solvents in the DLUX pull any of the black carbon from the Solution Finish back out of the trim? The combo does seem like a very potent 1-2 punch to restore trim and then keep it that way.

Yes, it's a winning combo.
 
I use Black Wow and all I can say is WOW. This stuff is amazing. You can control sheen, color depth, gloss and cleaning. I use it inside dash and underhood. Seems to last about 2-3 months underhood an longer on dash. Very easy to apply (only small amount of product works best).

WOW, nowhere in the manufactures description do I see that you can use it on your dash, but do what works for you.
 
I just purchased a bottle of the new Ultima Tire and Trim Guard and I must say I'm disappointed. It goes on exterior vinyl reasonably well but the surface remains tacky even after a couple of days and I don't like that. I get much better results with Solution Plus to restore color. I use Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel (mixed 1:1 with distilled water) when the Solution Finish fades a bit after a few weeks to reintensify the black.

And forget about tires, UTTG II is a rather thick lotion that doesn't spread well at all, especially with a tire that has a lot of patterns (?) on it. OTOH, I can spray on some Optimum Opti-bond Tire Gel and spread it around with a rag and get a good looking low sheen result in about a minute.

UTTG II is destined to be gathering dust on my shelf for the foreseeable future . . . at least until I can find some one I don't like very much to palm it off on them.

I'll take it!
 
Meguiars All Season Dressing. Before this dressing I had tried CG VRP, MEGUIARS BACK TO BLACK, TURTLE WAX TRIM RESTORER. None of them worked, sure the trim would be black again. But all three would run from the trim during rain. Evaporation was an issue as well. I saw Meguiars all season dressing in a gallon combo and had to try. I am impressed, does not evaporate, comes off easily if accidentally touched clear coat. On both our vehicles the trim has a shine which I like. Very little dust attraction. The scent is not offensive. All around pleased:)
 
It's a very nice dressing. It was my favorite tire dressing until I moved over to water based dressing (Hyper dressing etc). I have to use it more on trim.

When you say " use it more on trim", do you mean in frequency or the amount of product? Do you like the scent of Hyper dressing?

Actually I like the scent of both lol. I just need to try ASD on trim more.
 
Only used Turtle Wax Endura Shine trim restorer so far. Since I love their tire coating I figured the trim dressing was probably very similar. So far I like it but I have no basis for comparison. Darren Priest likes Solution finish a lot, so I might give that a try when I run out of TWES. He usually have spot on recommendations when it comes to products.
 
Solution finish is good and permanent I used it but I always end up put something over it every few months anyway that's the only way it'll look the best
 
I'd say the best trim restorer is the one you'll use initially and then regularly.

McKees 37 Trim restorer.

Griots black shine trim restorer (gel).

The Xterra is littered with plastic trim including the roof. Both have never let me down. I just currently treated all trim with the McKess. A thankless job no doubt, but now I know the trim will be protected and looking good for quite sometime.
 
I do solution finish once a year on my Lincoln MKX, where the wiper cowl, bottom of doors and bottom of bumpers fade quick. Vehicles 10 years old, and with a year ly application it holds up great. About ready to do it again this year.

Does it work good on interior pieces as well? I had a f350 this weekend that had really white seat bolt covers. They looked like the color was peeling off them, I wasn’t able to get them black again and Simone had recommended this stuff and I’ve been researching
