Review: Solution Finish “Brings Black Back” (Trim Restoration Product)

I go ahead and did a comparision test real quick before work. It's took me around 5 mins to do this. The truck is sitting outside 24/7 and we'll see what happen.

I applied SF on Monday and this is what it look like after 4 days, 40mi., and one rain.

note: SF greasy to the touch. UTTG smooth

So i got an email from Penny...
She basically saying that make sure i follow direction of application process and that i should apply a second coat.

Hopefully my comparision test will show that SF is not good for high traffic area.
 
So u gonna keep it?

Im gonna give it another shot on a OLDER car lol
Maybe my car is still too new....
I will try it on my gf's mini
Her trim is like white lol

I'll keep it only if the result is comparable w/ the UTTG. Otherwise it gotta go back to AG and hopefully they won't give me any grief :)
 
I am return the SF since it doesn't compare to the UTTG.

Here is the picture. After four days,maybe 10 mi drive, and one quick wash.

Did you buff off the excess some time after applying SF?

What did you use to clean the trim before applying SF?

How long after application did the car stay dry and free of condensation?
 
Umm, I think I'm going to pass on the Solution Finish. UTTG is field tested by many on this forum without issues.
 
Gonna try and test WG ETS vs SF on a bumper, and do a large section with ETS over sf as soon as I get some gloves. Gotta find the time first though...:props:

Yes, i buff off the excess about 5 mins after application

I used this Detailer's Cleanse-All Exterior Surface Cleaner to clean the surface( it comes w/ the kit)

I applied it at 6pm so my guess would be 6-8 hours before the dew set in at night.

I feel UTTG is better at this task and many other tasks.
 
Yes, see page 6 & 7. 2 month update it was still much better than before application but not quite as good as when initially applied.

3 month update: It's still there but could use a second application, a slight bit more fading.
 
Corey, would it be possible for you to do a side by side with SF topped with UTTG on one side and the new Carpro trim dressing on the other? (I can't remember the name of the Carpro one at the moment). Thanks.
 
Is it Perl?

Will do Richy! I'll have it in a couple weeks.
 
I used Solution Finish a couple weekends ago and it was messy. I am glad I used nitrile gloves.

The watery black (like thin tar) consistency must be a key element in the darkening process. We shall see how it does over the next months.

Corey, I'm sorry but this should occured to me earlier. If one has a case of badly faded trim, where the application of SF should be the first choice (OK>I'm assuming here that SF will dye it better than the DLux will??) then what about topping the SF with DLux? I realize these are 2 expensive products, but for something like an Avalanche or an SUV with really plentiful and visible trim, cost may not be as big a factor as getting it to look great and of course keeping it that way. So, my thoughts are the CQ product for durability and the SF for it's superior dying aspects. It'll be interesting to compare SF's ability to dye compared to DLux.
