    Solution Finish....Black Trim Restorer....review

    My good friend Chris West sent me several sample bottles of this trim restorer, Chris has been in the detailing world for a long time and full of knowledge and brings allot of enthusiasm and energy to this industry.
    Several tools you will want to have when applying Solution Finish
    Latex Gloves
    Old Microfiber towels (wipe off any excess product)
    APC Cleaner...I used Megs APC+ diluted 4:1 goal here is to make sure you have a clean surface for bonding
    small sponge applicator...for tight and hard to reach areas

    Solution Finish is ideal for restoring, conditioning and protecting any originally Black plastic surfaces.
    Dries Quickly with no greasy residue
    Uses advanced Polymer technology
    Silicone free
    VOC compliant
    It can be used on Cars and Trucks,Boats,Recreational vehicles,Golf carts list goes on.
    Here are several pictures of a 2003 VW Passat after a full paint correction and Opti Coat Pro applied

    left side Solution Finish applied right side untreated




    As you can see there wasn`t even a need to tape off to do a 50/50.....its too obvious which side is treated



    here are a few pics of the front grill and lower grill treated




    Also applied to grill




    Conclusion....I have used ALLOT of trim restorers and I am not dropping names.... but none of them comes even close to this product...If you want a more deeper black and natural like new look to faded plastic or vinyl without the wet greasy look......THIS IS THE PRODUCT !!

    Are you sure that`s not a bottle of black paint? Ha! J/K. Looks amazing. I need some for my 98 Honda Civic. What kind of durability can one expect?

    Great write up. Seeing as the sample is 1oz in the store about how much did you use for this entire car since it has quite a bit of trim?

    Not even a half bottle...you have to apply extremely thin
    One bottle...suppose to be able to do 4-6 cars

    Awesome. Keep us updated on the durability. I would love to see like a 30/60/90 day if you have access to the vehicle.

    I`d like to tell you that this is a nice review, but the fact is, I hated it. Now I`ve got to buy a bottle of this stuff to try it out! At least the price seems reasonable and they don`t load you down with excess product given its relatively short shelf life.

    Great write up. I used it on my 06 GTO. Did the plastic side window trim and the windshield cowl. Stuff works pretty good!
