The product is phenomenal and lasts for years even on a vehicle that lives outside in the sun and extreme heat ONLY If you follow the directions and properly prep the surface first. Secondly, make sure you are careful not to allow any streaking when applying with a new applicator sheet. Any streaking will dry with high and low spots or differences in coverage. This product is a Ceramic liquid product and once dried cannot be removed without sanding. There is you can apply to it that will remove it without damaging the plastic. Make sure it looks perfect when you apply it.
The best way to get the perfect long lasting results is to wash the car, decontamination using isopropyl alcohol, then apply when dry. Love this product!
I’ve used Ceracoat. It was by far the best and lasted the longest. It was a little too expensive for my daily driver. That said, I ll be buying it again for my new truck.
Have not tried it, but last year I used cerakote headlight restore kit on my old land cruiser. It worked amazing and a year later it has held up, so I have no doubt it would work. I plan to get some.
Ran into this SAME issue today while detailing a friend's car! Considered running to the store to get some Cerakote Trim Restorer after running out of my Stoner's Trim Shine...😮💨 Will know what to use next time! Thanks for posting!!
Do not put on smooth trim! It will start flaking off in about 2 years. It does last well on textured trim. Attention2Detail has a video about it. Throughly cleaning the trim is a must, or you won’t get good results. There is nothing you can do to remove it once it is on, so making sure the trim is clean is essential.
I HAVE USED THIS PRODUCT!! IT WORKS LIKE SHOWN. I HAVE A 2015 CAMARO SS. THE GRILLS AND REAR DEFUSER ARE ALL PLASTIC. AFTER 9 YEARS OF LIVING IN THE TEXAS SUN(NO GARAGE) THEY WERE A LIGHT GRAY COLOR. IT MADE THEM LOOK BRAND NEW! GREAT REVIEW!!
I purchased this for my 16 year old Toyota , haven't tried it yet cause it's been too hot outside. My black trim looks soooooo bad . I've seen many videos on this stuff and it looks like I'll be in for a shock if it works like they say it does . Can't wait to try it !!!!
This is excellent and Walmart sells it. I’ve been a detailer for 25 years and prep is so important. Clean with rubbing alcohol first to get all the old products off. Will stay good for years and at least 100 washes.
I agree, that stuff is the best. You definitely want to make sure it is bone dry It left some white spots I couldn’t get out on new trim I was treating to prevent fade.
I have used this from his recommendation and it really does work that good! DO NOT get it on your white paint as it stained mine. Even the Toyota single stage white. Just be careful of that. My detailer couldn't get it out after buffing the paint. Anyone who knows how to get that out, I am all ears. Great product, though.
Glad it worked, sorry to hear about the white paint... Hmmm, it does say 200 washes.. I wonder if you use Unisolve to remove off the white? Single stage paint very different than paint with clear coat. I haven't had that experience. I suppose tape off either blue tape to be extra sure it doesn't touch paint. Try very light wet sand then buff with 400 Menzerna (best compound).
@@CruisingTheLand It was absolutely not your fault, but my own. I didn't obey the directions on the packet. I am an idiot sometimes. The stuff really does work great! Thanks for the advice on removing the residue! Appreciate you Brother.
We were looking for something to bring back the trim and bumpers of her wrangler and we found a product called GX-3. Walmart sells it for $5 a spray can..we love it!!
Awesome! You and me both! Since this video, I have tried their Tire Coat and paint peotect. My new favorite detailing products! I will be uploading my Tire video, and will be doing my neighbor's E63 AMG headliggts rhis weekend..I will post that too.
Cerakote is the best; true restorer with no silicone or greasy ingredients. Make sure to wash the plastic, I use dawn (diluted) to make sure all contaminants are gone.
I haven’t tried this yet. I did have awful good results with it. New wipe or something like that. A yellow box is usually sold at the checkout counter. Held up for years on the pickup. Not greasy at all covers anything black rubber.
Bought a clean 2005 GMC Canyon P/U that had never been shown attention to the solid vinyl bumpers trim. They were a weathered ashen grey and looked terrible. Decided to try Cerakote, keeping the Walmart receipt just in case it didn't live up to all the claims. Followed directions which included a full degrease/rinse/drying of surfaces. Parking in the shade, I began the application properly. It instantly SOAKED in & turned the faded vinyl dark as I spread the application towelette across & around until it finally was used up. Got about half the bumper treated with the one pad's application. The results were nothing less than IMPRESSIVE. It darkened the faded grey back to a dark grey with a nice bit of shine/gloss. Finished the entire bumper with a second new pad & it's been about 2 years without degradation. Not quite as shiney as before, but another treatment in the plans later in year. Easily worth the $$ and proudly show others the results. One "Happy Camper" 😃
Awesome! Since this video, I got the 4oz bottle of Cerakote with application pads..Definitely worth it. I did an entire Jeep Gladiator and not.just plastic, but powder coated aftermarket parts that weathered..ait made the faded powdercoat look like new again!! Love it!
@@CruisingTheLand --That's great; may I ask where you were able to find/buy the 4oz bottle & pads ? Sounds like something I would be interested in ! Thanks....
@@CruisingTheLand ---Thankyou for your help/info... Saw this 4oz product on Amazon. A couple of questions: Do you think that this type of Cerakote is more economical in the long run than boxes of 8 reg size wipes sold ? Also, can the foam applicators be reusable, after cleaned with some type of solvent, or do they work just once then dry up hard like the pads do ?
This stuff is hit or miss. On the cowl, like this video, it worked great. On my front bumper where the plastic was smoother, it made a mess. Spotting and streaking everywhere. Was hoping it would be gone by now, but dam it’s holding up. Ax far as getting it on the paint, it’s a ceramic coating. If it cures, have fun getting it off. Honestly, the applicators suck. The wet wipe style is trash for a product like this. The coating automatically transfers to your gloves, then watch what you touch.
I've seen this product on TV and never been able to find it in any stores been using McGuire's Back to Black and that last about a week or so because I've been looking for something to restore my tri-fold bed cover. I'm almost at the point where I was going to have it painted but I guess I'll keep looking for this product.
The link to buy it is in my description. Get the pro pack (for detailers) it is Lots more productive than the 10 wipes, especially for the tri fold. I did this on a powder coated roof rack, and brought it back to new! I was about to pay $300 to a powdercoater, plus take 2 hours removing, driving there etc... So glad I used this instead. That video is also on my YT: th-cam.com/video/Ugmwj9gpO0M/w-d-xo.html
I would use 303 Protectant regularly as a preventtive measure . Spray on directly , let set for a few minutes , wipe in and wipe off with a clean microfiber towel .
PREVENTS FROM WHAT? it doesnt block uv AT ALL. 0..... no effect on uv. proven many times by many youtubers showing results with uv light measurment inrument.
Completely diff products. This is a ceramic coat. Solution Finish is a restoration product with milled carbon that "dyes" the faded plastic back to original black. To see head to head search for comparison videos. I know Apex detailing did one & scott HD (I think) I'm searching & learning about these for my Saturn Vue with faded plastic. How the 2 products compare will depend alot on what the plastic is made of. There is a nissan exterra that used the Cerakote product on all plastics. Some held up some faded again horrible in 1 year. Its very dependant on the plastic.
Aloha from Hawaii we have a small detail shop I was wondering if you could offer a small sample before we meet a large order To use in our shop. Looking forward to hearing from you.. thank you again
You could. Always do a test area. I have used it on powder coated surfaces too and brings them back to new. I have a video about that too. but get the 4oz bottle, it will go.much farther!
I use Griots Garage trim restorer and this probably beats it, except it’s wayyy more expensive. I also mod and refurbish gaming console and these types of products are amazing for making a 20 year old ps2 look new.
Yes, I have tried Griots. I use Griots ceramic green car spray and love it. But their black trim restorer is not in the same league as the Cerakote.. Its worth the extra, as it's not the same product nor end results.
@@CruisingTheLand oh I’m going to give it a shot for sure thru your affiliate link. Hey by the way your video comparing the different land cruisers was invaluable to me. I’ve been going to see used ones for sale for three years, but never found one in very good condition, until last month I found a garage kept 06 LX in pearl white where all services were done at the Lexus dealership until 175k. It now has 239k but it is in pristine condition inside and out. Thanks so much for making those comparison videos!! Getting 33” ko2 tires installed next week and a ARB deluxe bumper installed next month. Lessss Goooo!
Very informative video. Quick question. I see that this product was applied on the window surround trim and beltline trim on the doors, which is typically a rubberized plastic trim as opposed to a fully plastic trim. Is this product safe for the rubberized plastic trim in addition to a fully plastic trim such as the windshield cowl? Do you find it nets the same results and durability?Thank you.
yes best rule of thumb try a test area. I put this on Roam cases, Pelican cases and 23 zero cases too, and works on the rear black rubber flaps on a Land Cruiser
Good job, I use over the counter generic silicone spray, has great results cost a fraction of the cost of these claimed wonder products that don't work.
Peanut oil is just as fast and easy, and you don't even need to wear gloves if you don't want to. Lasts about six months in a mixed sun and rain climate, costs almost nothing per use, non-toxic. It does protect the plastic surprisingly well from UV and moisture, too. It's usually in the Baking aisle.
Mine has lastes over 2 years and still black aftee countless washes (about 30) and relentless sun. I prefer that then applying peanut oil every 6 months. If you are doing it every 6 months, its because by month 4 its not 100% and by month 6 its less than 50% becauae visually you feel thr need to do it again..
@@CruisingTheLand The Cerakote made the trim look like it was literally brand new. Not like you used a product to spruce it up. Many products even if they are low from a gloss perspective still don't look natural. This was impressive!!!
Used this on my brand new BMW cowl trim piece. It ruined it. That is a $150 piece of trim plus an hour's labor down a hole. I have tried Cerakote on other surfaces and it worked OK. If you get it on paint or glass remove it immediately, or you will have a very hard time removing it.
No. Absolulely not! I have used this on Powder coated items (roof rack, bumpers...) and it brings it back to like new! AND will last lomger and stay blacker than having it re-powder coated. 2 weeks? Try over 2 years, then re- apply!! And yoi are suggestinf to paint your black plastic on a car with Black paint?!? NO! You will devalue the vehicle... Even after watching this full video, you learned nothing!
Its not bad but its hard to apply to large surfaces. I did my Honda Element with it last year. Couldn't get the uneven greasy look out. Trick to keeping black black is don't get wax on it. Wax turns white. Don't run your car through an auto car wash with spray wax at the end.
🚨I want someone who can honestly say how long it lasts outside. That truck in the garage doesn’t count. You can wipe Armour All on trim in a garage that will last for 6 months.
Did half the rear kick plate on my LX570. Sits outside 365 days /year. 2 years later, distinct black versus the gray side I didnt do. Thats when I was sold and did this video.
Maybe a few months. The more you wash your car, the more it washes off. I use Turtle Was trim protection and I used it side by side with cerakote and they lasted THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME! But Turtle Wax is MUCH cheaper. Cerakote is good but overrated for daily drivers.
@@CruisingTheLand nope. I always match like for like. I don’t even think the bottle came up as an option because I always go for the better value option
It hurts my eyes to see this as a detailer. You have to prepare and clean the trim before you apply a ceramic trim coating. Use an IPA or IPA based degreaser before you apply cerakote. Also do a whipe down to leave no high spots. You go from trim to rubbers like you didn't planned it. 😂 I use Gyeon Trim btw.
@@CruisingTheLand Negative? For you it maybe seems nice. I see high spots and not a smooth even coating. You forgot even a few spots near the base of the whipers.
you obviously have no clue about this product. yiu daid ceramic? lol.. no. its not like all those crap ceramic trim that use Sio2. This is totally different. i agree that the product you use needs like 4 cleaning and sterilzing steps, and I am sorry for you and those steps and you have to do every 3 monthd. but this one is one step and goid for 2+ years.. then you just wipe again.
The product is phenomenal and lasts for years even on a vehicle that lives outside in the sun and extreme heat ONLY
If you follow the directions and properly prep the surface first.
Secondly, make sure you are careful not to allow any streaking when applying with a new applicator sheet. Any streaking will dry with high and low spots or differences in coverage.
This product is a Ceramic liquid product and once dried cannot be removed without sanding. There is you can apply to it that will remove it without damaging the plastic.
Make sure it looks perfect when you apply it.
The best way to get the perfect long lasting results is to wash the car, decontamination using isopropyl alcohol, then apply when dry. Love this product!
You can use dawn liquid to remove it with a sponge
What works the best for the decontamination- the dawn or the alcohol?
@darlenerothenay6251 Dawn breaks all grease down. Then rubbing alcohol decons anything remaining and dries completely.
@@RCCustoms73 Thank you so much. This is a big help!
dawn.. which is a degreaser, no need for alcohol.
Flood Penetrol for oil based paint works just as well and costs $14 a quart which you can do your car at least 50 times if it ever needs it.
I’ve used Ceracoat. It was by far the best and lasted the longest. It was a little too expensive for my daily driver. That said, I ll be buying it again for my new truck.

Building roof over your garage (if you have one) would help.
No garages either 😮
Or summer 😂
@@tealhearts5455 Yes, or summer. Whatever that is.

This is excellent and Walmart sells it. I’ve been a detailer for 25 years and prep is so important. Clean with rubbing alcohol first to get all the old products off. Will stay good for years and at least 100 washes.
Do you wash your truck then put alcohol on plastic then coat it or alcohol it first and coat only
@MR.RIGHT_9mm wash as normal, then when 100% dry, put the cerakote

WHY ?
It seems to do same has c4
We have the same car! Im actually cleaning it up to sell because kids and stuff. Love this car, going to be sad to see it go:'(
It's always less expensive in eBay. Same products are usually more expensive on Amazon.
Clean well and then apply black shoe polish,only a tiny bit though and leave to dry.
Will the Black shoe polish last 200 cars washes? BTW, the Cerakote is clear, and not black..So it's not staining it.

Always do a test area. This is not for painted parts, and some plastics or rubberized plastics are not the same!
whatever product you may use, it will last for 1-2 weeks or less....instead, you should paint it black and that's it !
No. Absolulely not!
I have used this on Powder coated items (roof rack, bumpers...) and it brings it back to like new! AND will last lomger and stay blacker than having it re-powder coated.
2 weeks? Try over 2 years, then re- apply!!
And yoi are suggestinf to paint your black plastic on a car with Black paint?!? NO! You will devalue the vehicle... Even after watching this full video, you learned nothing!
Thanks Jamie
It’s a clear coating. The same coating used when restoring headlamps.
I’ve tried them all but best results are just to spray with a satin black rattle can.
wow, that's a irreversible move. Try cerakote first!
Thanks for sharing, Jamie.
Thanks!
Try turtle wax graphene tire coating, best ever, suppose to be just for tires.
I will try that
@@CruisingTheLand you’ll love it, lasts forever and dries with no sling.
@@CruisingTheLand works incredible on all the outside plastic trim, I use it all over the trim n my 2023 venza limited
I use black magic or pig spit because they both come in spray cans and is much easier to use
Thanks for sharing. Will try it.
Its not bad but its hard to apply to large surfaces. I did my Honda Element with it last year. Couldn't get the uneven greasy look out.
Trick to keeping black black is don't get wax on it. Wax turns white. Don't run your car through an auto car wash with spray wax at the end.
Let me know when he tell product,you'll soon pass his blog😊
Try black shoe polish, it works better than cerakote.
No you shouldn’t because shoe polish is for leather & not plastic 🤥
@@1456941 shoe polish is not just for shoes. I use it on all my black trim. Don’t knock it till you try it.
Stop giving bad advice 😂
@@gmitch239 cerakote is just a clear coating, the same coating you use on headlamps after wet sanding. shoe polish penetrates plastic and vinyl.
Totally agree excellent product 👌
It's probably a silicone based emulsion
I tried it and lasted few months not impressed
That's odd. I have had it 2 years on a rear kick plate. Still Black.
I hate DMCA. AC/DC, Back in Black would have been perfect for this video.
The little wipes that are used to apply it are crap. They need a better application system
they do! The Pro pack. Which is a bottle and sponge wipes.. Alot more of the solution. It's on my link and goes to Amazon for the best pricing.
Thinking same thing. I don’t like the wipe idea. Too easy to drop. I bought a product from turtle wax and it’s outstanding. Comes in a bottle
@@tdz69 They have a 4oz bottle. Thats what I use now, especially for big prpjects.
WOW!!!!
Here in th UK it will cost you £43.!!
Back to black sucks don't know how it ever got to production
🚨I want someone who can honestly say how long it lasts outside. That truck in the garage doesn’t count.
You can wipe Armour All on trim in a garage that will last for 6 months.
Did half the rear kick plate on my LX570. Sits outside 365 days /year. 2 years later, distinct black versus the gray side I didnt do. Thats when I was sold and did this video.
Armour All is not good on vinyl seating...as it strips off the protective vinyl coating on the seat.
Maybe a few months. The more you wash your car, the more it washes off. I use Turtle Was trim protection and I used it side by side with cerakote and they lasted THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME! But Turtle Wax is MUCH cheaper. Cerakote is good but overrated for daily drivers.
@nielgregory108 You have a video showing this?
Someone has this locked up in Australia… $16USD vs $54 AUD…. And they wonder why they don’t do any good over here…
you are probably looking at the 4oz bottle which is $49 here. Its alot more trim coat than the 10 wipes. www.amazon.com/shop/landcruiser949
@@CruisingTheLand nope. I always match like for like. I don’t even think the bottle came up as an option because I always go for the better value option
What is it??
Link in the description
Use ceramic on it, same result
What ceramic? They are not all created equal
The worst products to ruin your trim ate silicone based waxes and cleaners. Simoniz makes a good plastic restorer with UV blocker.
Whaffle Whaffle Whaffle, just tell us what it is .
You can always go directly to the description.
It's been out for awhile now.. Nothing New
not new to you, but nee to many that didn't know about it..
It hurts my eyes to see this as a detailer. You have to prepare and clean the trim before you apply a ceramic trim coating. Use an IPA or IPA based degreaser before you apply cerakote. Also do a whipe down to leave no high spots. You go from trim to rubbers like you didn't planned it. 😂
I use Gyeon Trim btw.
negative. clean surface and apply. no magic elf ear wax or angel farts needed. Some detailers try to ovsr complicate.
@@CruisingTheLand Negative? For you it maybe seems nice. I see high spots and not a smooth even coating. You forgot even a few spots near the base of the whipers.
@Morpheus02000 High spots? what? are you high?
you obviously have no clue about this product. yiu daid ceramic? lol.. no. its not like all those crap ceramic trim that use Sio2. This is totally different. i agree that the product you use needs like 4 cleaning and sterilzing steps, and I am sorry for you and those steps and you have to do every 3 monthd. but this one is one step and goid for 2+ years.. then you just wipe again.
bro.. dont put it in your eyes...
