How it Works
The Tire and Trim Gel is a long lasting tire and trim dressing that is developed to protect trim and tires from environmental elements.

The unique formulation of Tire and Trim Gel delivers a thick rich trim and rubber dressing that lasts. Trim and tires will stay dark, supple, and hydrated. This long-life protectant and restorer maximizes depth and protection while delivering a water-repellent wet glossy finish.
Lasting Protection
This unique formula quickly penetrates rubber trim and tires to hydrate and provide lasting protection. Simply wipe on and work into surfaces using a pad. Gel works fast at restoring the look of faded tires, trim, bumpers, seals and stripping. The Tire and Trim Gel lasts for months not days. This is a no streak, no run and non drip formula that works to repel water and detergents and helps keep tire walls hydrated and supple as well as looking new.
Recommended Use
The Tire and Trim Gel is recommended for areas around the vehicle that require a dressing treatment. Tires are the primary target for this product but it can also be used on side view mirror housings, black grilles, hood/windshield cowlings, engine compartment hoses, molding, trim, splash guards, door panels, dashboards and even AC vents.

Guys - the product looks like it does the job nicely, but honestly, you really ought to consider applying the product, then timelapse the video at least an hour, then show the final product again.
word. Like 2 months later.d
definately, and what if it attracts dust and junk after its buffed?
Well it’ll probably look fine after an hour, you’ll end up needing it again over time
Oh how I feel like quitting my day job just to detail cars all day. Great products guys!
Oskar Alonzo I want to do the exact same thing! It's so satisfying!
Oskar Alonzo Oskar what are you waiting for? Go out there and make it happen. If you need help getting started let me know.
@@mikebaca6312 I need help getting started
After being denied a job opportunity almost ever place I apply I was almost broke unemployed and depressed I watched a video of this guy in Houston where I’m from and desire to go for I had my last $400 dollars bought a chemical guys bucket started kit, towels, a potable vacuum cleaner and a ryobi pressure washer and a foam cannon and started to detailing my relatives and friends cars 4 months ago word of mount got out and now I’ve 4 weekly and 3 monthly customers plus my friends and relatives I’ve earned enough to reimburse my initial investment and being able to buy more products and tools to make easy and to do a better job is hard on the beginning but time and patience would pay off! Best wishes
C.G. 36 Polish and a White Foam Pad did wonders on my faded trim. It cleaned it soo good I just had to share that with you. Try running the D.A over it before, I bet that it would come out even better with this product!!
can you use it on faded black bumper as well?
Finally I find an easy to use product!
Nice job,but what do u do about the finger marks?
Wow I feel in love with this product
What product would you use for the interior doors? As in the interior plastics, etc. Like the handles, arm rest, those areas...
How does this compare to the Carbon Flex trim product you guys also sell? And under what circumstances would you recommend the two?
Restore and Enhance Trim!

Do you condition hard exterior plastic the same way as trunk/door/engine bay seals?
i always just jet seal the plastic and it works great on those plastic parts on my BMW e39. It doesnt do as good of a job but it does make it better and i have to seal it any way
This couldn't be more perfect- I have an 02, white, e46, in socal and I have been wondering about this. Though I thought the black on the doors between the windows was metal?
I have a 01 X5 with the glossy trim. It gets a rainbow hue especially after a car wash. Will this work on the glossy trim as well??
would this help remove small scratches and indents as well?
love the product, only question is why don't you ship to Canada
Nicely done, I remember buying black shoes polish and buffing every black trim on my 84 Passat including the tyres haha, looked mean as.
How much did you use on the applicator pad? My impala 9C1 trim is super faded.
Hi, is this similar to solutions finish in terms of longevity in the trim staying black like new?
@chemical guys. Is this same as your V.r.p?
Does this work with door trims that are peeling? Like the trim is two different colors?
@Chemicalguys great revival !! and safe on paint, eh?!
How long does this trim gel last on the rubber?
Nice product. Sign me up for some. Where can I get a bottle of it?
can i use this product to remove polish and how long it will last?
Do you recommend trim gel over black on black spray?
I have some scuffs and scratches om the vinyl door/window trim. Will this help mask this?
Can you use it on the mee-or?
The way he was talking about the old trim I thought he was going to puke! Lol
I like the back to black spray what do you think is better the spray is super easy
does this also hide scratches on a glossy trimmings?
What happens if some gets on the car paint? Also how do you remove it if that happens? Thanks in advance.
Will this work on grey plastic trims?
I live in korea. Where can i buy ur products?
what would clear coat over it do.
hey can black on black spray work on this just as fine
(Long-life) how long it restoring?
I used a different applicator pad a microfiber one and it doesn't look like the gel helped at all. Maybe It needs foam one?
does it work on glossy type trim?
What will this do for plastic trim that is not black? Will it restore to the original color?
so will this damage surrounding paint
Has anyone used this product and does it run off after it rains? I have used Adam's VRT and it runs after it rains. I tried using very little and it still runs.
so how long does it stay such black without reapplying that gel?
When doing this, should we do it under the sun?
The rubber window trim on my '09 Grand Cherokee is pitted and pockmarked. Will this fill in those imperfections or do you recommend sanding those areas down prior to application?
How long does it last?
Still better to use Gyeon Trim or Cquartz Dlux or Gtechniq C4.
love the pinky extension
how many times can he say trim
would this work on a dirtbike?
Id like to see this after a few hours in the sun, and after a car wash. I have doubts this will stand up with a good car wash.
I live in Arizona and I can tell you straight up that I wash my car at least two times a week and it holds up pretty decent
On FB, someone posted that it didn't stand up to a short rain.
Amazon reviews is a good source with pictures. Seems like rain and first wash make the trim look bad ☹️. Saved me from purchasing this.
Noe R. Did u find anything else to use?
AmirBl nope
Glad I went and had my trim vinyl wrapped
WOW..I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT ✔💯👍👍
Would it work in a Subaru, 2019?
The pillars in my Subaru look like shiny plastic.
Many products can do that, but a week later it’s gone. How long will your product stay looking good?
Is this different from the VRP?
Quick question hope you can answer this for me I have a 2016 Honda Accord Sport and my plastic chrome grille got scratched what products would work to get the scratches out on the plastic chrome grille?
where do I get this product?
Looks good for all that black trim. But what about white molding? My white door guard molding has been discolored by the Sun
can i use black on black other than trim gel? like...restore plastic trim with black on black
You guys products are awesome!!!😀
Glad you like them!
perfect example, I have the same exact e46 except mine is black and a 2003
For frequent details, this will work great in maintaining a rich appearance. For detailers, its great for the out-the-door, end of setvice detail.
As with all good things, there are caveats: Oil based. Dusty environment? Expect this product to act as a magnet to dust and dirt until "cured"/dry. Plan accordingly (keep vehicle indoors until dry).
Oil is a UV magnifier. Remember ArmorA*l? Applied frequently to the dash caused fading and cracking? That was because of the oil base. Intensified UV will cause long-term damage (fade/crack/drying).
A lot of R&D goes in to products before they are marketed. I'm sure this product is no different, and I'm sure ChemGuys had these caveats in mind during development.
This is a great product for Service detailers, Car lots and show prep. I would hesitate on repeated, long term use.
Thank you so much for this insight
So what do you recommend for the everyday car owner?
What about when you go through the car off, does it take it off?
Looks great ! How many washes does it last ? Do you have it in smaller sizes and do international shipping ? Thanks
on some trim i had its been going strong for 3 months.
Is this oily does it attract dust
Hi will this work on vulcanized rubber by chance? Vulcanized rubber is also known as hard rubber.
Hey! Yes, this can also be used to dress surfaces with vulcanized rubber.
What is synethic?
How would you recommend removing the plastic layer on top of my trim? It's prelim in some places and not in others.
I'm surprised he didn't give this foam applicator any organic name, LOL
Could you use Trim Gel for tyres as well? Since its sort of rubber as well.
Yes, CG Trim Gel works great on tires.
-Greg@CG
Tire And Trim Gel is an oil-based dressing. It contains no solvents that damage plastics or rubber. The oils seem deep into the pores of textured plastic and rubber to nourish and moisturize the material from deep within.
What's that he used to rub ? Please answer asap . Thank you a lot
Hi Thanh, how's it going? That's our black UFO applicator pad. You can check it out by clicking the link below. Thanks for watching and make sure to check our 4th of July Sale!

It's not restored if it only lasts for a couple of months
MrWouzke re-application is a must
QJAndra restoring is making something better. this is covering up.
They should use the term "renew" instead.
So it’s basically semantics on the words
Humanalien if it only last a couple of months can't you just do that with WD 40?
Looks good. How well does that hold up against bug guts for the black plastic on the leading edges?
Hey there, great question. If you want max protection against etching, a Ceramic coating is the way to go. Our Carbon flex trim coating helps protect those sensitive plastics from oxidizing, and helps to create an invisible barrier that protects the pores of the plastic from things that could etch into them.
ChemicaL Guys Alex -
Chemical Guys thanks for the response! I will look into that.
The products look good but I wonderful if you use the same chemical and just re name them
Good for the rubber area at end of hood by the windshield wipers?
Hi Eric! Absolutely, use this for all vinyl, rubber and plastic components.
- CG Nick
Super premium
I have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. If my plastic trim has mildew spots looks like mold will it come off with this product? It’s just on the quarter panel trim of rear window.
I’ve used other products but doesn’t come off. I was told by my car dealer to buy new trim but I don’t want to spend $200 to get new trim if I can just clean it
Hi Garrett! Try using All Clean+ to remove stubborn grime.

What if the car I have has the door trim with a chocolate stain besides the faded black... Can I use this gel Also?
Hi! Use Nonsense All Purpose Cleaner to remove stains before applying dressing.
Do you sell the sponge you are using to apply the Tire & Trim Gel?
Hi there! Yes, that is the UFO Applicator Pad.
www.chemicalguys.com/wax-and-dressing-ufo-applicator/ufo-applicator.html
I need this now.
Thanks for watching the video, and being part of the Chemical Guys family. It's a really great product, and the results are amazing.
bought some 6 months ago and have barely used an ounce, a little goes a long way but its too greasy for me personally, lasts for quite a while though since its oil based.
rocko430
how long would you say it last
Well?
Do it last after a car wash?
This comment was 7 year old y’all really think he gonna reply 🤣
This was awesome!
Will this remove scratches from the b pillar also?
yameen patel as long as the scratches aren't too deep enough but if it's just a light scratch I believe it will do its job
Does it bleed down on the paint, if so you need to deoxidize molding vs covering it up
Hi, when applied correctly, Tire and Trim gel won't run down onto the paint. Follow the techniques outlined in the video and the dressing will stay right where it needs to be an nowhere else! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos headed your way soon!
Would you look at that.
So how long does this shine last exactly?
He said it at the beginning it last a few months.
You go girl !
any advice on scratched lower valance ?
chris chabra paint
How easy is it to remove from paint
Hi Hector, good question. Accidental application of Tire and Trim Gel is easy to remove from paint with a quality quick detail spray and microfiber towel. Thanks for watching and make sure to pick up your bottle of Tire and Trim Gel before the 4th of July sales later today!
Heat guns work just as well and last longer, or Turtle Wax jet black trim restorer works. Most of these gels work great for a month, then it fades again
So this product called "trim gel" ?
No prep first like thorough cleaning then an iso wipe?
Hi, good question. Yes, you should thoroughly clean the area first with soap and water or a waterless wash, but an iso wipe is not necessary. Thanks for watching and make sure to check back later today for a new video upload!
will be getting this
How did it work?
Just curious in that it looked like some of it would get on the paint.
1) Don't you need to wipe that off really quick?
2) Are you assuming this is step one and then you wash wax the car?
3) Is this the last step in detailing a car out? (See question 1)
I really don't know about detailing so they are real questions
Hi MrJimmyJoe, thanks for watching. This would be final step after you wash your car. If some accidentally gets on your paint, you can wipe it off using a quick detail spray. Thanks for being a part of the Chemical Guys family, MrJimmyJoe, and stay tuned for new videos headed your way soon!

C.G. Alex -
what is the exact difference compared to using a vaseline or any other oily substance? seems that the trim gel can be rubbed off with a degreaser pretty easily.
Hi David, thanks for taking the time to watch this. Vaseline is slimy, and slippery. Also because Vaseline is oil based, it will leave stains, and residue. Our products, hydrate, add shine, and dries very quickly.
Is it ok to not tape off areas you don’t apply the trim gel?
Hi there! Tire and Trim Gel will easily wipe off of paint and glass if accidentally applied to these areas.
trail marks all down paint from trim after a good rain ??????
what about side floor boards like on a Suburban?
+Hector T I don't want it to be too slippery
hector t if not use the chem guys goat brush and a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water in a spay bottle it will clean them that's what I use on my fire truck
