How i restored the plastic and rubber trim on my car

[ron222]

Hi everybody a few weeks ago i got a detailing product from this web shop and i tried it on my car and was really happy with the results.
It’s some restore paste for the plastic and rubber parts of the car, some new brand i never heard about from israel called “forberz ride effect”,
found out about it through a good friend that collects antique and classic cars, and uses it for a few years to keep his cars.
my car was in a pretty bad shape, plastic trim parts are sun faded with lots of polish and wax stains..
when i started applying it, it was super greasy and concentrated but then i took a tiny bit and use an old shirt to rub it on the plastic,
and you can really see it absorb inside the plastic turning shine and looks like new and by instructions it says to wipe it dry after half an hour
so i did it and the compound is kinda clear yellowish and has no black color in it like most of the products,
so you do not need to worry about messing your whole car with some black
filth like i did once...

I saw some people here were interested for something that will not kill the plastic to preserve it,
and i gotta say it looks and feels like the plastic absorbs the compound and it really revives it, also says non-toxic on the label yayy
i took some pictures for you to see and decide for yourself
anyway i’m pleased with it and recommend it.

Nice write-up. One thing worth adding for anyone trying this: the difference between a real trim restorer and a cheap "dressing" matters a lot more than people think. Dressings sit on top and look great for a day or two, then wash off in the first rain or fade fast in the sun. A proper restorer actually penetrates into the plastic and forms a coating that holds up to UV, so it lasts months instead of days.

Also worth not overdoing the application. A little goes a long way, and putting on too much just leaves a greasy, overly shiny look that attracts dust and looks worse than the faded plastic did. Thin coat, let it soak in, wipe off any excess after a few minutes.

Last tip, clean the trim really well first, degrease it if it's near the wheels or engine bay, otherwise you're just sealing dirt and old product residue under the new coat and it won't bond properly or last as long.
