Pan I need your help this product landed on my paint I’ve tried compound rubbing alcohol light compound and nothings gotten rid of the streaks around the plastic trim off the paint
I put Cerakote on my daughter’s car over a year ago. It is a Honda Element with acres of plastic, that was all gray. The car sits out in the Pacific Northwest weather, spent the summer in the mountains, and she never washes it. Over 14 months later, the plastic is still deep black and pretty shiny. It’s not even close to time to reapply it. I’m shocked and delighted. Great product.
My Pilot is in for bodywork at a Honda shop. I have health issues and can’t do the application inside. They are applying for “free.” I complained to the dealer about how bad the trim looks. He said all manufacturers use the plastic because it’s cheaper. You pay so much for a car and they chince out. I hope it lasts for several years.
Used this on my 6 year old CX9 last year and brought all the exterior trim back to life! Amazing stuff. As Pan said prep is key. Thoroughly wash and dry trim completely and you will not be disappointed. Held up very well over frequent washes. Water beads up very well.
This product is amazing!!! Just started break down after 3 yrs with no proper washing. I love it! The only thing is back and forth wiping may cause high spots. It doesnt seem self-leveling. But its the best trim restorer I've used to date.
@@PanTheOrganizer textured and smooth surfaces like fender trim and b-pillar finishers. I just got their new pro paint protection delivered as well thanks to you!. Gonna be applying that to my truck soon.😊
I applied this to the trim on a 2015 Range Rover Sport, back in August 2020. The car isn’t garaged kept, it stays outdoors, takes a beating from the sun and the weather. It’s been commuted for 300+ mile road trips many times, gone through tunnel washes monthly, and improper washes. 3 years later, I finally got to detail it again; and the trim is still looking new, not faded or failed at all. It’s a great product.
A buddy bought the product in the 4oz bottle off Amazon and used it on a couple/few of his vehicles. He told me he had a lot left in the bottle and encouraged me to give it a try. I’d purchased a 2018 Volvo V60 Polestar in early July and had corrected the paint and ceramic coated it. I’d not yet done anything with the black plastic of the cowl or under the hood. The stuff has blown me away! I applied it in mid August and wash the car almost weekly and it still looks as good as when it was first applied.
I just applied this to the Black Trim on the 2021 Explorer XLT Sport that My Mom just bought. It had 40k miles on it, and the Plastics weren't really Faded, but after applying this to the Trim it looks INCREDIBLE! It Definitely made the trim a Rich Glossy Black, not like the Matte Black that it looked like. I'm very Impressed with the Product. I'm glad to see people saying that it still looks as good as it did, Years later.

@PanTheOrganizer I've been following you for a few years now. I found your channel when I was researching Ceramic Car Washes for My Honda Accord Coupe back in 2021. I found your review of ArmorAll's Extreme Shield +Ceramic Car Wash, and Have Sworn by it Ever Since.
Cool! Funny how you found me through the Armor All review as I was underwhelmed by that product and could never recommend it in my awards. But it goes to show different people can have different experiences with products. I hope you’ll have a good week!
Pan I applied this to my windshield cowl back in the summer. It was on my 2006 Fusion. It was so faded and dehydrated looking. After the application, and to this day, it looks brand new. I was blown away. Glad you're bringing this amazing product to the attention of the masses.
UPDATE: I bought a box of the Cerakote Trim Restorer to use on my friends' cars that I detailed and their faded black trims turned out fabulous!!! I also used it on my own car and the results were stupendous!!! GREAT product!! I've seen Cerakote in the stores, but didn't think about buying it. I'm thinking about it now, though! LOL! Thanks for posting, Pan!!!
I own and operate a car wash in jamaica, I used it on a number of vehicles and it has been very last. It's on my vehicle for over two years and still looking great. I highly recommend it
I used cerakote on my wife’s rav4 and we ran it through the drive through car wash once a week for 2 years and the majority of the product is still on and the plastic looks great. Definitely an easy product to use that gives lasting results and is not expensive.

Hi Eddie. I never had issues with trim coatings failing, so it's not a topic I explored or an issue I had to troubleshoot. Is this an issue you actually have? Or is this more of a hypothetical question following another video you saw on another channel perhaps?
@@PanTheOrganizer is something I saw somewhere else. Not sure if you saw it but it gave me some pause on how it was pitting the trim. Maybe it's because the gloss trim isn't capable with the restore.
@Ecdetails Hey brother, I highly recommend using Shine Supply Trim Coating and to maintain its coating you can use Shine Supply Clutch But keep in mind it depends on the condition of the trim, there’s different variations to restore trim either faded or no more paint you can restore it! Check out Shine Supply God Bless❤️
Having just applied to my 2 year old SUV, I would recommend only applying to matte/rough absorbent plastic trims as it is too shiny for smooth plastic trims. On matte plastic trims, there is a slight shine to (that you can see in this video) which complements a ceramic coated car in a good way. This slight shine persists even after drying so be aware if you dont like this look and prefer the factory look without the slight gloss. I was driven to apply this because I had created some unsightly marks from using a magic eraser to remove some stains; this product helps to mask those marks very well so it achieved what I wanted from it.
I purchased a box from Wal Mart for I think $16. I used all the packets and I was amazed. My F-150 looks crazy good. I will place a second coat before the summer .

I'm going to use this on my Nissan Murano tonight. We're planning on taking a trip to Florida for a week and it's supposed to rain and storm all week. I've heard great things about this product.
Mostly an awesome product. Phenomenal on porous, matte plastic trim. I've read that people had issues with shiny trim over time, where it can flake. I had pretty good results when I applied it. Time will tell. Great stuff Pan.
@@bigmo9044 Pan recommends Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer for new trim. His 2023 Annual Awards video gave this product first place in trim restoring and protection, and he emphasized it's for new trim. th-cam.com/video/KRv7vKsuliQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for highlighting this product, as it looks like really good stuff. I have a box of it that I bought last year and plan to do my plastic trim with it in the not distant future. Due to my diligent efforts in maintenance on my car, my trim hasn't faded badly but I would still like to bring it back to a showroom finish. I regularly apply protectant to the vinyl, rubber and plastic on my car and so the car still looks good after 5 years.

I bought the trim restorer the ceramic paint sealant and the two little bottles of ceramic coating IV only used the sealant because were I live in Massachusetts so weather is getting colder but the sealant was awesome my SUV is Agate Black and it looks stunning Thanks for showing me these products...
Hi Pan, Love your informative videos. They are a must for all detailers. I have used these Trim Coat wipes and find them as easily to apply as you've shown. The results are dark black trim. I've had mine on the car for 8 months so far and they still look dark black. No gray in sight. Truely a great product. Makes me want to try their new coating especially when on sale but I just put a coating on two months ago.
I used this on my mini Cooper just before I sold it and it made the faded plastics look really good. Two years later I bought the car back and it is still there even after being parked outside. The only negatives imo are that it is glossy, so it can make certain plastics look unnatural. It also is not easy to apply to smooth plastics with the small wipes. I think a foam applicator would do fine though.
I used this on my old 99 Ram 1500. Could not believe how easy it went on, but WOW, it makes the old truck look years younger. Rich black trim now instead of the grayish faded out look it had before. I purchased it after seeing your earlier video on touring the plant. Very impressed with the quality of their products. Thanks for what you do in showing us these products.
Pan, a BIG Thank You to introducing me to the rinseless wash way of cleaning. Just got to Arizona for the winter and used that process to clean my fifth wheel (full body paint and professionally ceramic coated-truck too) Can’t believe how easy and water saving way it is to clean those two up. Appreciate your channel and the education it gave me!!
Like the product in some places, not so much in others. Worked good on trim around my 2008 Ford F-150, but only lasted a couple months on parts like window cowl and bed trim.
Just used it on a 2013 Volvo XC60 that came from Arizona. I first used the Meguiars Ultimate Black, and it looked OK for about 3 weeks and 4 washes. Just applied the Cerakote and it is way, way better! Hopefully it will last a bit longer.

They've gone through about 20 washes on my fender flares on my jeep. Bout five of those washes using Carpro Reset. Still look like the day I applied it. Though my flares has some scuffs and scratches which caused the some of fibers of the applicator towelettes to get snaggled. So if u have some scratches or rough spots try to sand it down a bit.
Very good stuff. I was able to do my entire car's plastics (2013 WRX STI limited) with 1 wipe. Granted it doesn't have a ton of the type of plastic that can fade but it's like new again.

Hey Pan, watched this when it came out but returned to the video to see if I missed anything. I just got a brand new car and I want a trim protectant. Any recommendations (or a video I missed?). I didn’t see them listed in your Best Of 2023 video either. Appreciate the assist!
This video came after my 2023 awards. Also, this is meant to restore faded oxidized trim. This isn't for new trim. For protecting plastic trim on a new car, here's my recommendation: amzn.to/3KjiojT

Hi Pan, can you once cured apply a ceramic coating (Cerakote ceramic coating) on top of it? On your video of the cerakote ceramic coating you mention that it can be used on pretty any surface. Will the ceramic coating have better longevity that the Cerakote coat windshield? Thanks
Don't get confused. The Cerakote Professional Ceramic Paint Coating (the one presented in the previous video) is meant for paint, wheels, glass, PPF and vinyl wraps. Not plastics. This trim restorer is meant to restore faded and oxidized plastic trim. Once applied, it already provides ceramic protection, so you don't apply anything else over it. One product, done. But you could apply their Rapid Sealant spray on top, once cured, if you want.
I just used this for the first time last week on my plastic windshield cowl. It worked great, but I got some pretty noticeable streaking once it cured. Any tips on how to fix this, and how to avoid it in the future?
Pan you mention this if not for new cars, what should I use to clean and protect my moldings on a new GX550? Will ceramic coat in a few months. Love the content and hope to see some more hometheater/audio from you
If you are using a ceramic coating on your paint, check to see if it can also be applied to trim. Some paint coatings can be applied to paint, glass, wheels, lights and plastic trim. If it’s only a paint coating, you could buy a plastics costing like CarPro DLUX here: bit.ly/3kEb073
I'm convinced this is an AWESOME product because I used it on 2 of my Ford trucks plastic moldings on top of the bed and 1 of the trucks foot runners. The runners aren't as bad because they aren't in the sun as much as the top of the bed. One thing is, the more dried out the plastic is, the more sheets you'll need to coat them, so make sure you have enough. One thing I wondered about was, could I use a bottle of ceramic liquid to rehydrate the little sheets? Or maybe even use an applicator to apply a ceramic coat and get the same results. If what is on the sheets is a totally different product/technology than what is in a bottle of ceramic, (not just sheets coated in the ceramic solution) then I would need to purchase more sheets to get the fantastic results that the Trim Coat gives. Thank you for bringing us this review of their plant, I'm sure their product will become a mainstay in every detailer's arsenal.
One of my cars Honda Civic has faded grey trims that has a thick layer of white plastic crust, its difficult to remove, any trim restoration in the past just sits on the top and comes off very quickly. I'm thinking of 2000 grit sand paper, some APC and some panel prep spray and lots of elbow grease. There has go to be a better way to remove thos layer before applying this product? Pan? Cerakote? You guys have a better idea? Many thanks
A new car is never new until it's properly detailed. - at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example. - vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc - vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements - at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches - at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat. If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well. I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car for my customers: Audi RS6 Avant Performance: th-cam.com/video/L5SQ0ZIJCj0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mcQiMs9HBLlaqjGK Mercedes AMG GT 63 Coupe: th-cam.com/video/4Kznrg3Z31o/w-d-xo.html Mercedes S 580: th-cam.com/video/Vq_tfcwryVI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=whord2_UEFSg28UW Tesla Model 3: th-cam.com/video/uV7QWwyuPL4/w-d-xo.html Aston Martin Vantage: th-cam.com/video/OKga3yZVTqo/w-d-xo.html Volvo XC60: th-cam.com/video/tvDBBenhYFA/w-d-xo.html Porsche 911 Carrera: th-cam.com/video/2ckiivbFqs4/w-d-xo.html Audi Q7: th-cam.com/video/t7HCBSVnizM/w-d-xo.html

Pan you never stop amazing me, great vidéo, the result blew my mind, seems to be the best trim protectant on the market, if i'd need it one day, i'd know which one to choose.
Does this need to be wiped off after application? It looks streaky like it's unevenly drying, just wondering if it'll stay like that or change once fully dry.
@PanTheOrganizer Maybe I layered it too thick, I'm working with thin long strips so I went back and forth going down the trim. How would I take it off to redo?
It’s made more to restore old faded trim. For new trim, you can use the same coating as for your paint (most paint coatings nowadays can be applied to trim as well, but check the instructions to make sure). Or get a trim coating like Gyeon Trim EVO which I reviewed here: th-cam.com/video/pzi1wpL7I0Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CqjgoFVnSS3EOTMt
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks, sorry I meant to delete the question, actually edit it. I have been using C2V3. Hoping it will keep the plastic looking good.
I bought based on this video. Wow.... Can't wait to see how it holds up, but wow.... One of the places I used it was on plastic running board steps on a truck. So should really test how it wears! The included gloves suck as expected and one tore as I was putting in on. Suggest you have your own ready!

Don’t know about how long it lasts but applied this just maybe a month ago on my 2016 that the plastics have been totally neglected… for once I didn’t go crazy ocd and even with my hap hazard application it turned out awesome and for the price I don’t see a downside. I am thinking about other random shit around the house that might benefit from it

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for the quick response! Im looking for a cleaner/restorer for the inside plastics. They are faded and want to restore them. Any good products for that?
A bit trickier for interior plastics depending on how bad they are faded. But you can certainly start with something like CarPro PERL diluted 1:5 for interior use. Link: bit.ly/3QRzoC2 That's for prosumers and professionals. On the consumer side, retail level, this is another good one: amzn.to/3R38ZkV

Hard to say without seeing the vehicle. One thing is for sure, this is meant as a trim restorer, for hard plastics, that have been faded and oxidized. Welcome to my channel.

Hi Pan! You got me inspired and this past weekend washed one of my cars. Looking at trying to work on the window molds of my cars. Ones chrome and the other is black. Once I was the car, would this trim coat work on the window molds? Thank you!
Could you use this on new vehicle to protect them right out of the gate. I bought Cera Coat Trim Restorer by The Last Coat. Followed applicationto the letter.(I got instruction from Cera Trim folks) It eventually starts to get grey streaks where water runs off the cars. It looks okay when first done, and beads nice, but is a lot of work and was not cheap for the intended result. Do you think this is any better over the long term? What they do in their "in house" tests really relevant to real life situations? Cera Coatbwasvthe new kid on the block not too long ago, now, not so much.
Hi Brian. This is a trim restorer, meant for old faded and oxidized trim, not new car trim. On a new car, you can either use a paint coating (check first to see if that paint coating can also be applied to plastics though!) or a plastics coating like this one: amzn.to/3T5E8VH or this one : amzn.to/48yEQ25
So I did what said not to do and I applied this to a new vehicle. It looks great on the lower trim which is textured but the shiny trim around the windows, mirrors and back windshield wiper have begun to have white marks on them. What would you recommend someone use to protect new plastics and how can I remove this from the smooth plastics that did not come out well?
I did my Cybertruck and it's shiny in some areas and dull in others. Any idea on how to get an even looking piece? And yes, I thorough wiping it with 2 passes.
If I'm going to clay, polish (including trim) and apply a graphene coating to my car, should I skip the Cerakote on my trim, use it beforehand, or use it after? I'm worried about too many chemicals in such a short time. Thx!
Hi Pan , i ordered the ceramic professional from cerakote that you done a video about a few weeks ago and it's that popular it was sold out and there's a 3 week wait , hopefully in the next few weeks it will arrive and i can give some feed back . This trim restorer certainly looks the part .
Rest assured they are working as hard as humanly possible to get the orders shipped. Yeah the video was super popular and with a reason. It’s a great product and the deal is unbeatable. Enjoy!
One of my favourite interior dressings is CarPro PERL diluted 1:5 for interiors. Here's a link: bit.ly/3QRzoC2 This is another very popular interior protectant: bit.ly/3PjjbUO Keep in mind those are long term protections. They don't clean the surface. You have to clean the surface first.

Pan I need your help this product landed on my paint I’ve tried compound rubbing alcohol light compound and nothings gotten rid of the streaks around the plastic trim off the paint
I put Cerakote on my daughter’s car over a year ago. It is a Honda Element with acres of plastic, that was all gray. The car sits out in the Pacific Northwest weather, spent the summer in the mountains, and she never washes it. Over 14 months later, the plastic is still deep black and pretty shiny. It’s not even close to time to reapply it. I’m shocked and delighted. Great product.
Thanks for sharing your real world experience John! Pretty awesome indeed.

@johnliu7893 awesome I have a crv in Washington, also has tons of trim.
Used this on my 6 year old CX9 last year and brought all the exterior trim back to life! Amazing stuff. As Pan said prep is key. Thoroughly wash and dry trim completely and you will not be disappointed. Held up very well over frequent washes. Water beads up very well.

I just applied this to the Black Trim on the 2021 Explorer XLT Sport that My Mom just bought. It had 40k miles on it, and the Plastics weren't really Faded, but after applying this to the Trim it looks INCREDIBLE! It Definitely made the trim a Rich Glossy Black, not like the Matte Black that it looked like. I'm very Impressed with the Product. I'm glad to see people saying that it still looks as good as it did, Years later.
Glad it worked out for you! Thanks for sharing your personal experience with it. How did you discover my channel by the way Teddy?

@PanTheOrganizer I've been following you for a few years now. I found your channel when I was researching Ceramic Car Washes for My Honda Accord Coupe back in 2021. I found your review of ArmorAll's Extreme Shield +Ceramic Car Wash, and Have Sworn by it Ever Since.
Cool! Funny how you found me through the Armor All review as I was underwhelmed by that product and could never recommend it in my awards. But it goes to show different people can have different experiences with products.
I hope you’ll have a good week!
Pan I applied this to my windshield cowl back in the summer. It was on my 2006 Fusion. It was so faded and dehydrated looking. After the application, and to this day, it looks brand new. I was blown away. Glad you're bringing this amazing product to the attention of the masses.
That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing your personal experience with my audience.

@@Cerakote can I apply on a new car… car is wrx 1 year old still looks good but would like to protect it for future ?
UPDATE: I bought a box of the Cerakote Trim Restorer to use on my friends' cars that I detailed and their faded black trims turned out fabulous!!! I also used it on my own car and the results were stupendous!!! GREAT product!!
I've seen Cerakote in the stores, but didn't think about buying it. I'm thinking about it now, though! LOL! Thanks for posting, Pan!!!
I own and operate a car wash in jamaica, I used it on a number of vehicles and it has been very last. It's on my vehicle for over two years and still looking great. I highly recommend it

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks to you for sharing all those products which has open many doors for me
My pleasure! What's your favourite video on my channel so far, by the way?
I used cerakote on my wife’s rav4 and we ran it through the drive through car wash once a week for 2 years and the majority of the product is still on and the plastic looks great. Definitely an easy product to use that gives lasting results and is not expensive.

Hey Pan, hope your well! if the trim coat fails over time what chemicals would you use to remove and reapply
@@Cerakote can you please add that information here would be great so others who may have the question can reference it. Thanks for responding.
Hi Eddie. I never had issues with trim coatings failing, so it's not a topic I explored or an issue I had to troubleshoot. Is this an issue you actually have? Or is this more of a hypothetical question following another video you saw on another channel perhaps?
@@PanTheOrganizer is something I saw somewhere else. Not sure if you saw it but it gave me some pause on how it was pitting the trim. Maybe it's because the gloss trim isn't capable with the restore.
@Ecdetails
Hey brother, I highly recommend using Shine Supply Trim Coating and to maintain its coating you can use Shine Supply Clutch
But keep in mind it depends on the condition of the trim, there’s different variations to restore trim either faded or no more paint you can restore it! Check out Shine Supply
God Bless❤️

@@PanTheOrganizer mothers back to black, 303 product. Others I’m sure over the years.
Thank you!
This stuff just works, 2 years+ on my 2015 Lincoln. Looks great!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Having just applied to my 2 year old SUV, I would recommend only applying to matte/rough absorbent plastic trims as it is too shiny for smooth plastic trims. On matte plastic trims, there is a slight shine to (that you can see in this video) which complements a ceramic coated car in a good way. This slight shine persists even after drying so be aware if you dont like this look and prefer the factory look without the slight gloss. I was driven to apply this because I had created some unsightly marks from using a magic eraser to remove some stains; this product helps to mask those marks very well so it achieved what I wanted from it.
I applied cerakote a year ago and so far the trim looks brand new. 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing your experience!

I just applied this to my 2016 Honda CR-V that had heavy oxidized plastic trim. It was very easy to apply and looks wonderful now. Thank you Pan!
I'm going to use this on my Nissan Murano tonight. We're planning on taking a trip to Florida for a week and it's supposed to rain and storm all week. I've heard great things about this product.
Keep in mind this is made to restore faded oxidized plastics. Not for plastics that are in great condition.
Mostly an awesome product. Phenomenal on porous, matte plastic trim. I've read that people had issues with shiny trim over time, where it can flake. I had pretty good results when I applied it. Time will tell. Great stuff Pan.
Thanks for the info!
So glad you mentioned it's not meant for new vehicles which would need protection rather than a restorer.
I always try and give the most detailed information possible, so thank you for highlighting that. I appreciate it.
What do you recommend for a protectant for new trim?
@@bigmo9044 Pan recommends Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer for new trim. His 2023 Annual Awards video gave this product first place in trim restoring and protection, and he emphasized it's for new trim. th-cam.com/video/KRv7vKsuliQ/w-d-xo.html
@@bigmo9044 Would like to know this as well.
@@sedona1234566chemical guys trim gel is a good start for newer cars, not very durable on super faded trim though.
Thanks for highlighting this product, as it looks like really good stuff. I have a box of it that I bought last year and plan to do my plastic trim with it in the not distant future. Due to my diligent efforts in maintenance on my car, my trim hasn't faded badly but I would still like to bring it back to a showroom finish. I regularly apply protectant to the vinyl, rubber and plastic on my car and so the car still looks good after 5 years.
Thanks for sharing!
I just used the headlight restoration kit this past weekend. Very good product. I’m excited to order and try their trim restorer

Hi Pan, Love your informative videos. They are a must for all detailers. I have used these Trim Coat wipes and find them as easily to apply as you've shown. The results are dark black trim. I've had mine on the car for 8 months so far and they still look dark black. No gray in sight. Truely a great product. Makes me want to try their new coating especially when on sale but I just put a coating on two months ago.
Thanks for the kind words about my videos, and also for sharing your personal experience with the Cerakote trim restoration kit!
Thank you for your review!
I used this on my mini Cooper just before I sold it and it made the faded plastics look really good. Two years later I bought the car back and it is still there even after being parked outside. The only negatives imo are that it is glossy, so it can make certain plastics look unnatural. It also is not easy to apply to smooth plastics with the small wipes. I think a foam applicator would do fine though.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I used this on my old 99 Ram 1500. Could not believe how easy it went on, but WOW, it makes the old truck look years younger. Rich black trim now instead of the grayish faded out look it had before. I purchased it after seeing your earlier video on touring the plant. Very impressed with the quality of their products. Thanks for what you do in showing us these products.
I had really good luck with Turtke Wax’s trim restorer.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for giving us your real world feedback!
Pan, a BIG Thank You to introducing me to the rinseless wash way of cleaning. Just got to Arizona for the winter and used that process to clean my fifth wheel (full body paint and professionally ceramic coated-truck too) Can’t believe how easy and water saving way it is to clean those two up. Appreciate your channel and the education it gave me!!
Like the product in some places, not so much in others. Worked good on trim around my 2008 Ford F-150, but only lasted a couple months on parts like window cowl and bed trim.
does it matte down? looks pretty shiny. would you recommend using it on interior plastics or is this strictly exterior plastics?
Only meant for exterior use. It mattes down a bit but still has a sheen to it.
Just used it on a 2013 Volvo XC60 that came from Arizona. I first used the Meguiars Ultimate Black, and it looked OK for about 3 weeks and 4 washes.
Just applied the Cerakote and it is way, way better! Hopefully it will last a bit longer.
Yeah the Cerakote trim restorer is an excellent one.

The outer plastic casing for my car mirror is blistered will this help?
They've gone through about 20 washes on my fender flares on my jeep. Bout five of those washes using Carpro Reset. Still look like the day I applied it. Though my flares has some scuffs and scratches which caused the some of fibers of the applicator towelettes to get snaggled. So if u have some scratches or rough spots try to sand it down a bit.

Very good stuff. I was able to do my entire car's plastics (2013 WRX STI limited) with 1 wipe. Granted it doesn't have a ton of the type of plastic that can fade but it's like new again.

Hi Pan, can you once cured apply a ceramic coating (Cerakote ceramic coating) on top of it? On your video of the cerakote ceramic coating you mention that it can be used on pretty any surface. Will the ceramic coating have better longevity that the Cerakote coat windshield? Thanks
Good question 🤔
Hope someone answer it
Don't get confused. The Cerakote Professional Ceramic Paint Coating (the one presented in the previous video) is meant for paint, wheels, glass, PPF and vinyl wraps. Not plastics.
This trim restorer is meant to restore faded and oxidized plastic trim. Once applied, it already provides ceramic protection, so you don't apply anything else over it. One product, done.
But you could apply their Rapid Sealant spray on top, once cured, if you want.
Yes, you can apply Cerakote® Rapid Paint Sealant over cured trim coat 👍
Ok thanks that’s clear. Regarding the windshield will the ceramic coating be better than the glass windshield coat?
Would this work well on plastic wheel wells?
If they are faded and oxidized yes.
I love it, I just wish it was a bit more matte looking
I have used it. It works great.
Thanks for sharing
I just used this for the first time last week on my plastic windshield cowl. It worked great, but I got some pretty noticeable streaking once it cured. Any tips on how to fix this, and how to avoid it in the future?
They make solid products for sure.
Pan you mention this if not for new cars, what should I use to clean and protect my moldings on a new GX550? Will ceramic coat in a few months. Love the content and hope to see some more hometheater/audio from you
If you are using a ceramic coating on your paint, check to see if it can also be applied to trim. Some paint coatings can be applied to paint, glass, wheels, lights and plastic trim.
If it’s only a paint coating, you could buy a plastics costing like CarPro DLUX here: bit.ly/3kEb073
I'm convinced this is an AWESOME product because I used it on 2 of my Ford trucks plastic moldings on top of the bed and 1 of the trucks foot runners. The runners aren't as bad because they aren't in the sun as much as the top of the bed. One thing is, the more dried out the plastic is, the more sheets you'll need to coat them, so make sure you have enough. One thing I wondered about was, could I use a bottle of ceramic liquid to rehydrate the little sheets? Or maybe even use an applicator to apply a ceramic coat and get the same results. If what is on the sheets is a totally different product/technology than what is in a bottle of ceramic, (not just sheets coated in the ceramic solution) then I would need to purchase more sheets to get the fantastic results that the Trim Coat gives. Thank you for bringing us this review of their plant, I'm sure their product will become a mainstay in every detailer's arsenal.
Thanks for sharing your experience! The sheets aren't the same thing as the bottle version for paint, to my knowledge.
Pan is correct, it is not the same.
One of my cars Honda Civic has faded grey trims that has a thick layer of white plastic crust, its difficult to remove, any trim restoration in the past just sits on the top and comes off very quickly. I'm thinking of 2000 grit sand paper, some APC and some panel prep spray and lots of elbow grease. There has go to be a better way to remove thos layer before applying this product? Pan? Cerakote? You guys have a better idea? Many thanks
I have used their products before with good results.
Which products have you used?
@@PanTheOrganizerceratrim.
2024 wrx which looks good now but what should I use in the future to protect and keep that new car look?
A new car is never new until it's properly detailed.
- at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example.
- vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc
- vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements
- at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches
- at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat.
If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well.
I explain all of this in this popular video: th-cam.com/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/w-d-xo.html
So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car for my customers:

C'est utile pour la planche de bord ?
Pour usage extérieur seulement.
Does this need to be wiped off after application? It looks streaky like it's unevenly drying, just wondering if it'll stay like that or change once fully dry.
If you applied a thin, even layer, it self levels once it dried and gives a uniform finish.
@PanTheOrganizer Maybe I layered it too thick, I'm working with thin long strips so I went back and forth going down the trim. How would I take it off to redo?
HI, would this protect work well as a protectant on a newer car trim?
It’s made more to restore old faded trim. For new trim, you can use the same coating as for your paint (most paint coatings nowadays can be applied to trim as well, but check the instructions to make sure). Or get a trim coating like Gyeon Trim EVO which I reviewed here: th-cam.com/video/pzi1wpL7I0Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CqjgoFVnSS3EOTMt
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks, sorry I meant to delete the question, actually edit it. I have been using C2V3. Hoping it will keep the plastic looking good.
I bought based on this video.
Wow.... Can't wait to see how it holds up, but wow.... One of the places I used it was on plastic running board steps on a truck. So should really test how it wears!

This is meant for exterior use.
Pan, what would recommend for burgundy plastic?
Don’t know about how long it lasts but applied this just maybe a month ago on my 2016 that the plastics have been totally neglected… for once I didn’t go crazy ocd and even with my hap hazard application it turned out awesome and for the price I don’t see a downside. I am thinking about other random shit around the house that might benefit from it
I would agree. It's tremendous value for money and that is only superseded by its super ease of use.

A bit trickier for interior plastics depending on how bad they are faded. But you can certainly start with something like CarPro PERL diluted 1:5 for interior use. Link: bit.ly/3QRzoC2
That's for prosumers and professionals. On the consumer side, retail level, this is another good one: amzn.to/3R38ZkV

On any exterior platics that need restoration.

Will this work on tan exterior trim too? All the demonstrations I've seen show black trim.
Do they make a matte non glossy version?
When it dries, the gloss goes down to a sheen. Not matte, but not overly glossy. If you want something matte though, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Warm Huumid cures quicker? Since its a restorer, Do you put protectant over it after a wash? Thank you Pan for this video, slick as usual!
It's a restorer that also has ceramic technology for protection. So no need to apply any protection over this once you are done.

@@PanTheOrganizerthank you! anything else you recommend for the mold and trims around windows?
Could you use this on new vehicle to protect them right out of the gate. I bought Cera Coat Trim Restorer by The Last Coat. Followed applicationto the letter.(I got instruction from Cera Trim folks) It eventually starts to get grey streaks where water runs off the cars. It looks okay when first done, and beads nice, but is a lot of work and was not cheap for the intended result. Do you think this is any better over the long term? What they do in their "in house" tests really relevant to real life situations? Cera Coatbwasvthe new kid on the block not too long ago, now, not so much.
You didn’t get the right product in your case. Cerakote is meant for old faded and oxidized trim. Not to be used as a trim coating on a new car.
Pan would u use this on brand new trim new car? or use the Cerakote Ceramic Paint Coating thanks
Hi Brian. This is a trim restorer, meant for old faded and oxidized trim, not new car trim. On a new car, you can either use a paint coating (check first to see if that paint coating can also be applied to plastics though!) or a plastics coating like this one: amzn.to/3T5E8VH
or this one : amzn.to/48yEQ25
@@PanTheOrganizerthank you for prompt response!!
So I did what said not to do and I applied this to a new vehicle. It looks great on the lower trim which is textured but the shiny trim around the windows, mirrors and back windshield wiper have begun to have white marks on them.
What would you recommend someone use to protect new plastics and how can I remove this from the smooth plastics that did not come out well?
Salut pan ou ont peut trouver ce produit pour moulure non peinte merci a toi
Je mets toujours les liens dans la description sous la vidéo, ainsi que dans le premier commentaire de la section des commentaires.
I did my Cybertruck and it's shiny in some areas and dull in others. Any idea on how to get an even looking piece? And yes, I thorough wiping it with 2 passes.
If I'm going to clay, polish (including trim) and apply a graphene coating to my car, should I skip the Cerakote on my trim, use it beforehand, or use it after? I'm worried about too many chemicals in such a short time. Thx!
Hi Pan , i ordered the ceramic professional from cerakote that you done a video about a few weeks ago and it's that popular it was sold out and there's a 3 week wait , hopefully in the next few weeks it will arrive and i can give some feed back . This trim restorer certainly looks the part .
The Professional Paint orders will be going out tomorrow! Thank you for your patience, and for your order!
Rest assured they are working as hard as humanly possible to get the orders shipped. Yeah the video was super popular and with a reason. It’s a great product and the deal is unbeatable. Enjoy!
Can I use this also on my interior trim plastics ? (Door cards, dashboard etc.)
No, this is for exterior use only.
@PanTheOrganizer okay thanks
@@PanTheOrganizer what do you recommend for interior use ?
One of my favourite interior dressings is CarPro PERL diluted 1:5 for interiors. Here's a link: bit.ly/3QRzoC2
This is another very popular interior protectant: bit.ly/3PjjbUO
Keep in mind those are long term protections. They don't clean the surface. You have to clean the surface first.
If you want an interior detailer type product, that does light cleaning duties and protection all-in-one product, see my video on a battle of the best ones here: th-cam.com/video/2Wb7_NlyWUE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MnRgS72XXMs2gdD8
@PanTheOrganizer thanks a lot man .. appreciate your feedback 🙏🏽
