* high viscosity silicones produce a rich, long lasting, high gloss shine on rubber, plastic and vinyl surfaces.

* clear color



Review: This stuff is really first rate. It is an excellent restorer for vinyl, plastic, etc. I just got it recently, so I have not been able to evaluate how long the shine will last. However, I`d put my money on atleast a month or so. If this won`t cut it, you`ll need to dye the trim.



X-factor: This stuff is very similar to Poorboy`s Trim Restore. I compared samples of each in terms of color, smell, shook them both and they behaved identically. The final test came on J.J.`s Sentra, we tried TR on one half of a faded panel, and this product on the other half. Both he and I agreed that there was no percievable difference between the panels. Sorry, no pics, but it wouldn`t even be worth taking them. There was absolutely no difference. IMHO, this product really proves the whole PB = CG theory to me.



Final thoughts: For 26 bucks, you can`t go wrong. A quart of TR is 21 bucks, and you get 4 times as much for 5 bucks more. Poorboy has been good to me, but I think I`ve found my new supplier.

I was about to ask you what it smelled like. Have you tried Extreme VRT? It looks an aweful lot like BNB.

[Wasatch]

Have not tried PBs Trim Restore or PBs Bold N` Bright. Nice to know, we can basically or excatly get the same stuff way cheaper. Thanks for the review.

You beat me too it. I finally got chance to use this last weekend on my friends beat up 91 civic and I was really impressed. I got some strange looks when I was comparing it to trim restorer but I also feel they are the same product. Only time will tell how long it lasts. I wish I would have gotten pictures but I didn`t have my camera.

Interesting topic.. im extremely interested in the Extreme VRT terran. What is the consistency of it? I dont like a very thick dressing as they are extremely hard to coat my tires with because my tires have nothng but rigids all along them.

I don`t have it. I was speculating based on color and its description. I did just place an order with chemical guys (excellent customer service BTW) which included VRT and several others which I will be comparing to my small PB collection of SSR1, SSR2.5, TR, and BNB, so we will see.



I would be interested in a small sample of EX for comparision purposes and would be willing to send back what I think might be a CG equivalent if anyone would be interested.

[joshcaro]

I have some EX I could send you. I have to get me some more bottles to ship it in. Let me head over to Walmart tonight and tommorow and ill see what I can do for ya!

[Terran]

Alright cool. I have quite a few 2oz bottles so I could send a couple of those with CG "EXTREME TOP-COAT PAINT SEALANT+ 3X CARNAUBA" (gotta give PB`s credit for coming up with better names) for you to see what you think of the two. I could send some VRT if you want too.



Where do you find little containers at walmart? I couldn`t find them back when I looked so I just ended up getting some from US plastics.



If VRT is indeed BNB then it`s not too thick. A bit thicker than TR and 303 (which is about as far as my experience goes with vinyl/rubber dressings), but not much. I`m not sure what kind of ridges you`re talking about, but you shouldn`t have any problem if using a foam applicator.

[SpoiledMan]

Ehh, I *think* the VRT is well, VRT.

This stuff looks a lot like Trim Restorer. Does Poorboy`s make it?
