    Blackfire wax remover

    Mothers detail brushes

    Then use your Cerakote. If it’s good enough for Griots to cary under their name I guarantee it’s been through the ringer and is great stuff.

    Ah, OK...heh heh, yeah...gotta watch that "advice from the Internet"...even with regard to this place!

    Hope you get that Staining sorted out, it can be a real PIA sometimes. I`ve even replaced trim when somebody used stuff I got tired of struggling with.

    Re: How to restore trim after NuFinish bleaching.

    I used Back to black heavy duty trim cleaner and my trims looked like new for weeks. I attached the brush to small sawzall for faster brushing. I used 3 bottles . Rav4 has a lot of plastic trims.
    And I was rear ended and have to replace back bumper cover .

    WOW! Another "outside-the-box" application of a tool for detailing. I would like to know HOW you attach a brush to a sawzall and what particular sawzall model you are using to do this. Not sure, though, that some detailing tool manufacturer might see this "idea" as a viable and marketable tool for development, but I gotta give you kudos for doing it! The back-and-forth reciprocating motion of the sawzall is a great application for this type of brushing.

    I am surprised that someone hasn`t thought of using an old electric tooth brush with a stiff bristle brush attachment to do this type of brushing as well.

    WHICH brings me to the question of:
    For those of you Autopians who have the Rupe`s I-brid mini polisher, do any of you use the brush attachments for cleaning exterior trim like this or for ANY detailing cleaning tasks requiring brushes (carpets, seat fabric, interior plastic trim)??
    (My apologies to the original Poster (OP), Eldario, of this thread for hi-jacking this discussion and deflecting it to a different, but related, subject.)

    Here`s an attached link to a thread I started on this very question of restoring faded black trim:

    I used small Bosch 12V sawzall and taped the brush to the blade. Really efficient.
    for bathtub I use impact drill with a brush attachment. I try to find electric tool to cut down on every elbow grease.

    I like your thinking out of the box but this has already gotten you in trouble with this trim debacle. You are taking a huge risk using a brush on a sawzall blade near your cars paint, glass, and trim. Please use the proper tools and products from this point forward. Im saying this as a big brother who cares about your car, not trying to be a dick.

    His mechanical advice is dang near as bad as his detailing advice. Hes entertaining but that is about it. He says SO much stuff wrong or misleading to someone who doesnt know how wrong he is

    Re: How to restore trim after NuFinish bleaching.

    I taped off all the paint and the brush was in contact only with plastic trims.
    I am very grateful for advice from this and other forums.
