My mobile rig is a 2000 GMC Savana van with 335,000+ miles on it. It was owned previously by a painting contractor who drove it hard and never, I mean never cleaned it! When I first got it I gave it a complete cleaning inside and out! Not a full blown correction detail but a good deep cleaning that was epic in itself!

Today I decided to try to bring some life back to the black plastic mirrors and surrounding trim.

So I started out with a deep cleaning using BLACKFIRE All-In-One All Purpose Cleaner

The APC left it clean and grease free

next step was to apply the BLACKFIRE Total Trim & Tire Sealant 16 oz.

I applied a quarter size amount of product to a microfiber towel

I lightly rubbed the product around the mirror and the surrounding trim

After covering the whole area, I wiped it with a clean, dry microfiber towel

I applied a second coat and then wiped the whole assembly till dry.
Heres the final results

It left a silky smooth feel to the otherwise dry brittle feeling plastic and a nice black sheen with no greasy residue!
Overall I was very happy with the results of both the APC and Trim Sealant and highly recommend you give them a try!
 
Nice result. Now to see how long it lasts.

I heard micro removes too much (product) from plastic/vinyl etc. Would cotton have been a better choice, or am I nuts?
 
Nice job.

This is great on textured trim but not so great on rubber. Had the same experience of it not working on rubber for a third time on a different car.
 
It is a great product. I used that on my Sorento's black plastic and it lasted for about 4 months for me. I recently put DLux on it for longer term.
