TriNova Plastic & Trim Restorer - Shines & Darkens Worn Out Plastic, Vinyl & Rubber Surfaces - Protects Cars & Motorcycles from Rain, Salt & Dirt - Prevent Fading - 8 fl oz

I probably had this item sitting in my cart for over a week or so before I finally decided I'd give it a try. I was impressed, that it really works. Ok so its like a polish to your plastic, but this polish stays on and gives back that nice black shine. My vehicle looks brand new again and It only took about 5-10 mins to apply to all my plastic on the vehicle. I gave my vehicle a bath first and than applied the product. Even after its rained several times here, the shine is still there and nothning looks fladed. Worth the shot if your wanting to give your vehicle a upgraded look.

My plastic looks better than new! Easy to apply and just amazing results!

This product is easy to use and effective. Even the slightest amount turns dull rubber and plastic bright and shiny. It is not sticky or glue like. If you accidently get it on glass, it wipes right off. I used it on some abraded carbon fiber. It made it black and shines like new. It does not dry but remains a thick liquid. Water will not wash it off but if there is sand or dust it will stick. It still looks good, and you can wipe it off and reapply it.It makes dull plastic rubber, metal and plastic parts look good as new. So, you can see it is good for small areas but not the whole car. The bottle will last a long time since you only need a little. You could even apply it to small scratches, and you can't see them anymore, for a while. I would not apply it too much inside the car, such as the dashboard as it would cause severe glare.

For less than $15, I was expecting a blackish dye and a crap sponge that would get me by on my side by side to spruce it up a bit. I was shocked when it was more of a clear syrup. It totally brough back the black from VERY greyed plastic panels that were exposed to sun pretty much everyday for 4 years. The inside plastic looks better than new, kinda shocked to be honest. It also repells water very well.

I got tired of my car looking decrepit due to age. I wash regularly, and of course keep the mechanics tip-top, but I wanted her to look pretty. I drive a 2004 Honda Element EX, which is basically 40% trim and 40% window. She's my best friend, but her trim was faded from 8 years of Missouri sun and no garage. Heck, the trim on her roof (once gray) was almost white. I stumbled across this product on Amazon and boy am I glad I did!This was the first wax/detail/whatever job I've ever done. It was so easy that I actually had fun! A little bit does go a long way, and I sure didn't use it sparingly (due to my excitement). It literally glides on like silk. I was worried about applying it evenly - thinking that one spot or side would be darker than another if I didn't concentrate... NOT the case! I even applied in different motions (circular, horizontal, etc.), but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at her that I had no sense of direction. She looks completely natural too, not over the top like "look at me - look at me!" Did I mention it got dark outside before I was done? I finished the work under a little porch light and she still looks flawless! My arm wasn't shaking from manual labor, either.The entire process took me a little over an hour and I still have half+ bottle left. She looks better now than she did in 2008 when I brought her home. The company even sent me an email before the product arrived with best tips for use, which I really appreciated due to my rookie status. I can't wait to use the UV Protect Spray I purchased for the plastic/vinyl interior, and I'll definitely be investing in more TriNova products. I will upload photos later this afternoon to prove that it's money well spent!

I purchased this after I noticed the black plastic/rubber trim on my car were more light gray and white. I've tried other trim restorer kits and either there was a lot of work involved, multiple applications, or just didn't work very well or for very long.TriNova was quite different. I tried TriNova's Trim Restorer on my '15 4-door sedan. From the looks and from memory, it never had any touch-ups done to the trim since it rolled off the lot. I began adding a small drop of the applicator on the included yellow pad and cautiously applied it to a small piece of black trim. Immediately it turned the near white trim to a dark gray. I let the application sit for about a minute or two. Upon my return, the trim was a dark gray, but not quite black. I gave the trim a bit of a rub down and in a matter of seconds it turned black. I decided to continue with the rest of the trim, this time adding about 4 drops to the yellow applicator and then gently rubbed it into the trim. I worked the restorer for about 15-seconds before taking a step back and giving it a glance. BLACK just like the day I originally purchased the car. Happy and surprised, I began working on more pieces of trim with similar results. Eventually I found myself hunting for more rubber and plastic trim to restore. I started with the exterior trim pieces, then moved to the plastic pieces alongside the door and around the trunk. Upon completion, I lifted the bottle and noticed that I barely used any. My first thought was "shoot, I'm probably going to lose track of the bottle before I ever use up all the application".A FEW TIPSI noticed that the trim restorer works best when the trim is warm. This is one of the few times where you'll want to apply in the sun.The bottle is sealed, so no worry about it spilling during shipping, which is something I can't say about others I've used.After applying on smooth plastic surfaces, wipe the surface down. I noticed that excess dries leaving obvious drips on smooth plastic. Rubber and textured plastic didn't in my case.Less is more. On a 4-door sedan I didn't even use 1 ounce of the restorer. I was able to restore all the exterior trim, rubber in the door, and other various places that aren't often noticedThe restorer applies best with the yellow pad. Cloth tends to leave lent and dust behind.Have a towel close-by during applications. Wipe off any excess. It doesn't stain, but will leave water marks on things like glass.Very happy with the end result, but now I kind of wish TriNova sold this in smaller quantities as 8ounces is a lot for my standard size 4-door sedan.UPDATE #1: The treatment has been subjected to 1 car wash, 1 wax, and quite a few morning sprays from the hose in the morning to get rid of frost on the car. The treatment has been holding up quite well. Still just as dark/black as it was after the first treatment.UPDATE #2: 4 Weeks after original installation, the treatment is showing signs of wearing off. I'm starting to see grayed and white spots appearing again. Looks like this treatment lasts about a month. Will re-apply and update as necessary.UPDATE #3: After a few additional applications, I'm noticing that each application only lasts about 3-4 weeks. To be clear, this is 3-4 weeks with light rain and the car kept under a car port during the night. After a week of fairly heavy rain, I noticed the application time was shortened by about a week.
