I just wished I took care of it from the beginning ... it would have made life a lot easier now... but the Jeep was already 5 years old when I really got into detailing.

Its OK you've done a bang up job bringing it back IMO I see tons of cars with plastic that looks like do do....I had a Nissan Sentra that the bumpers had water marks from the way the water came off the back of the car...over about a month and tons of applications of TR and another silicon based product they came back to looking as good as new!
 
I still think with a scotchbrite,adhesion promoter (bulldog) and sems trim black. cant beet that combo. And the new paint would give you more longevity (sp) then tr. The TR still looks good .
 
I think that painting them will make it look less of a jeep i like the unpainted whenever i see them i say wow that would be fun to off road in.
 
we're not going too far off topic are we
:notme:

I thought this thread was about what was already done to his flares, not asking for suggestions:rolleyes:
 
im sure there has to be something out there that doesnt take 4 coats to restore a trim piece like this ? how much product did you use in total ?

its just to me 4 coats seems like a heck of alot to use to achieve a good result, as I say if you have to do it more than twice your either doing it wrong or using the wrong stuff.
 
Try it you should like it. Worked well with one coat on 66 t-bird vynil top. Went from dark gray to dark brown wh one coat, and buffed after A minute with the green an gold MF towels from PBs. Was getting ahed of parade, should have put on more layers and will next time.
 
It surely doesn't take a lot of product to get the results. A few coats initially makes the dressing last longer and a month or two after one more rejuvenating coat is needed to maintain the look. FWIW, in the pics the TR is probably 2 years old and the amount in the bottle is right at the top of the label .... a little goes a very long way, you'd be surprised. Plus it is priced a lot better than other popular trim dressings on the market. Thanks for the bump on the thread, the trim hasn't been my top priority in a long time and is in dire need of help ... it stinks being busy all the time :).
