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!!
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.
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.
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
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. www.chemicalguys.com/allclean-degreaser/allclean-degreaser.html?gtmListValue=Internal%20Search
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.
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.
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?
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?
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!
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!
Hey! It is best to use a water-based dressing such as Silk Shine for interior detailing. www.chemicalguys.com/silk-shine-vinyl-rubber-plastic-satin-protectant-dressing/silk-shine-dressing.html

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.
medranofamilyCA Ha, I'll have you find me a rust free 3N6 2000-2001 camry painted door that matches the car, which means it would have to be used due to fading, not rusted with a working window motor & gray interior door panel that isn't ripped or anything, along with taking the door off and putting on the new one.
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.

Hi Alex, how's it going? Chemical Guys Natural Shine is the perfect way to protect and restore your rubber, vinyl, and plastic trim.

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!
Yeahhh this looks junk. It looks great, but I also see an uneven coloration on the upper left panel that isn’t fixing it- it’s just adding oil which makes anything look richer, for a week. 303 aerospace is pretty good, but apparently ultimate tire cleaner is even better for longer lasting.
+Chemical Guys honestly I hate when people talk crap about your guys products you guys have the best of the best been using ur stuff forever works amazing keep it up
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
It'll be gone by then what's the point
@@rickkstir It shouldn't be. That's the point.
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!

Nice job,but what do u do about the finger marks?
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

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?
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?
The way he was talking about the old trim I thought he was going to puke! Lol
does it work on glossy type trim?
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.
Genuine question, what do I do if the pillar plastic starts to peel?
Hi there! The best solution may be to replace the trim piece.
Fix it with black duct tape
😂😂
can you use it on faded black bumper as well?
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 🤣
@@miya24700just apply it again after car wash what’s the big deal lol
so how long does it stay such black without reapplying that gel?
What happens if some gets on the car paint? Also how do you remove it if that happens? Thanks in advance.
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

Could you use Trim Gel for tyres as well? Since its sort of rubber as well.
Yes, CG Trim Gel works great on tires.

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.
Hi, is this similar to solutions finish in terms of longevity in the trim staying black like new?
Still better to use Gyeon Trim or Cquartz Dlux or Gtechniq C4.
So how long does this shine last exactly?
He said it at the beginning it last a few months.
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
Finally I find an easy to use product!
The products look good but I wonderful if you use the same chemical and just re name them
You guys products are awesome!!!😀
Glad you like them!
Looks good for all that black trim. But what about white molding? My white door guard molding has been discolored by the Sun
Glad I went and had my trim vinyl wrapped
WOW..I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT ✔💯👍👍
how many times can he say trim
What product would you use for the interior doors? As in the interior plastics, etc. Like the handles, arm rest, those areas...
Dude, the black on the doors is matt black PAINT not plastic.
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?
How long does this trim gel last on the rubber?
How does this compare to the Carbon Flex trim product you guys also sell? And under what circumstances would you recommend the two?
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?
Many products can do that, but a week later it’s gone. How long will your product stay looking good?
When doing this, should we do it under the sun?
Wow I feel in love with this product
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??
what would clear coat over it do.
Do you recommend trim gel over black on black spray?
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.
Would it work in a Subaru, 2019?
The pillars in my Subaru look like shiny plastic.
What will this do for plastic trim that is not black? Will it restore to the original color?
It seems to leave the surface too shiny. It doesn't seem to restore the original color.
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 used a different applicator pad a microfiber one and it doesn't look like the gel helped at all. Maybe It needs foam one?
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.
I'm surprised he didn't give this foam applicator any organic name, LOL
video starts at 2:15
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?
Is this different from the VRP?
does this also hide scratches on a glossy trimmings?
Does it shine like paint or is it flat Black when finished?
Hi Ray! Tire and Trim Gel will add some gloss.
Is this oily does it attract dust
Its tire dressing. Hides the surface temporarily. Doesn't restore it. Think pancake makeup.
psdaengr
Any ideas on how to bring them back to life ?
I don’t want to use molding paint , don’t want to buy new moldings.
Plastidip?
You left out the most important point. How long does it last???
+jonny chingas He said it lasts a few months at start of video
+jonny changes - he said at the beginning, it lasts for several months.
So this product called "trim gel" ?
Will this work on grey plastic trims?
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.
Does it bleed down on the paint, if so you need to deoxidize molding vs covering it up

Finally I found this video! Nice!!!
Happy detailing!
isnt this a variant of the black on black? i can use black on black and will it give me the same look?
Black on Black is a spray. Trim Gel is a gel form. Both give a great since, but gel adds more protection and can be applied with an applicator pad.
+Chemical Guys honestly I hate when people talk crap about your guys products you guys have the best of the best been using ur stuff forever works amazing keep it up
After Ten Car Washes, will it start to fade?
Very likely. You dont a microscope to understand that this stuff won't last that long.
Heat gun method is good. But to those with little to no experience can easily melt the plastic
love the pinky extension
