  • Exposure to the elements fades, discolors, and cracks plastic, rubber, and vinyl trim pieces. Tire and Trim Gel penetrates deep, nourishes, moisturizes, and restores dried-out and faded trim to perfect deep high-gloss shine. The premium oil-based gel finishes dry-to-the-touch, can be applied precisely and evenly, and will not sling or run off surfaces when applied properly.

    The tire + trim brought back a plastic valance on my 2010 Mustang GT that was horribly oxidized to it's original look. Nothing else I used worked. This did an amazing job. I'm going to buy the trim clean as well for next time. Amazing products.

    is the tire and trim stuff a replacement for the VRP?

    • @ChemicalGuys
      @ChemicalGuys  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Benjamin! VRP is great for adding a deep finish to interior and exterior vinyl, rubber and plastic or if you are looking for a high gloss finish, use Tire and Trim Gel on exterior rubber and plastic trim that are exposed to harsh elements.

      Hi Lupita! Trim Clean can be used to remove polish, glaze, sealant, and wax from textured plastic and rubber trim before applying Tire and Trim Gel which enhances a deep gloss while repelling harsh elements.

      @ChemicalGuys  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Brad! That's awesome, we had a '76 Stingray in the Detail Garage not too long ago. It is always best to start with the least aggressive combination as possible. I recommend testing V36 with an Orange Hex-Logic Pad in a small area to determine if this is the correct combination.

    Can you use the trim cleaner before the foam cannon? Wouldn't that be better to help remove any leftover residue from the trim cleaner so you have a clean surface to put on a protectant?
