Black Plastic Trim Refurb

[OrionStang]

My car is now almost 5 years old and all the black trim is fading to gray. I know there are a ton of products out there that claim to bring back the showroom finish, but which ones actually work? And how long dot they last?

Other options would be plasti-dip and/or wrapping. Maybe wrap it all in 3M carbon fiber vinyl LOL.

This pic shows it all, the trim under the front and rear bumpers, and along the bottom of the doors, along with the grill and black parts of the mirrors.

I would plasti dip it even though the 3m carbon fiber would look badass but you would have to wrap every trim piece to make it match and look good

Turtle Wax trim restore works but doesn't last all that long, couple weeks-month

When I wash my 'hoe I usually hit the trim with the black magic tire shine. After I spray my tires I spray it on a rag and rub it in. It works better than armor all and doesn't wash off or leave runny "oil stain" streaks after it rains.

Give it a shot, I'm sure you have a can already sitting in the trunk.

All the little tricks and products never seem to last. Therefor i would do it the proper way and paint it.

I'd probably use SEM Trim black. Just sucks waiting if you can't find it local. But I'd take SEM over any other paint (duplicolor, rustoleum, etc.)

I know. That's the best option. Removing everything to do it right is gonna be a PITA. Especially the rear valance.
