The victim this time was a 2006 Mercedes-Benz C230 Sport with around 100K miles. The windshield cowl/trim was dull and faded. Very gray looking and lifeless. I hit it with an ample dose of trim restorer and it brought the color/luster right back! I let it sit for a few minutes then knocked down the high spots. It looks very good now. I will have to update this thread with the longevity as I see this vehicle frequently.





















 
Scott -
That is an unbelievably beautiful transformation !
This product rocks !!
Tell us how - what - did you do to prep that dead plastic piece ??
Beautifully Detailed the entire vehicle too - love that color !

Thanks for all the hard work you did for the Client and us !

I have not tried it using your heavy application technique and let it soak. I`ve been trying multiple lighter coats. I wonder if we introduce heat into it some how it would restore even better (just really warm not super hot to where the plastic oils start to flow). Like heating up the section/trim wiper cowl with a heat gun/hair dryer and then the heavy application and let it soak.
 
Thanks all! Stokdgs: I waterless washed it and then hit it with IPA heavy ratio spray. Wiped dry, let it air dry for a bit then hit it! Thank you! Yes, it`s super glossy!!!!

Mike: Yep!

DBAILEY: Interesting thought. I use heat when I use GYEON Tire and it seems to last/look a lot better IMO after the heat gun treatment. This could very well work out well for trim as well, the heat not GYEON Tire. May have to try this soon! Are you having good results with the multiple lighter applications?


Thanks again!!!
 
UPDATE: It`s been around 3 weeks and it`s still looking good and holding up well. This vehicle even sat outside at the airport for a week! It`s had multiple waterless washes and at least two 2BW in this time frame.



 
Got my bottle this past week and tried it on some of the Ford trim - not the same results that you got Scott. To be fair, the trim has seen SF in the past and not sure if any process will remove SF. The rear bumper and side runners are the worst to keep looking good since they do get used. I did try it on an inner fender and it looked great, which seems to tell me smooth plastic is the happy place. I`ll have to get a shot or two of the texture I have issues with but most probably know what it looks like.
 
^^^Hmmm, wonder if you coat over it the longevity will increase. I have heard of others coating of SF with good results.
