I had recently tried Poorboy’s Trim Restorer <\/a>and I must admit, I was surprised. I have used various trim restorers and nothing competes with this, it’s the real deal. This product restores trim, rubber moldings, tires, and any other vinyl, plastic, or rubber that has been exposed to the harmful elements. This product recommends that you clean the surface prior to using the trim restorer. I would suggest P21s Total Auto Wash<\/a> or Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner Plus<\/a>. Making sure the surface is clean and dry, lightly apply Poorboy’s Trim Restorer using a Foam Applicator<\/a>. The next part is important so make sure to follow along.<\/p>\n

For SEVERELY<\/em> neglected areas, you will want to apply a few thin layers with about 30minutes between coats. After each layer,\u00a0 DO NOT<\/em> wipe away the excess product. Allow the product to dry fully while on the surface to maximize your results. Then AFTER<\/em> your results are achieved on your last coat, wipe away cleanly and apply your UV protection. For this step I like to use Optimum Protectant Plus<\/a>. You can also use 303 Aerospace<\/a>, Poorboy’s Natural Look<\/a>, or Chemical Guys V.R.T<\/a> too. All three products work great and will give you great results.<\/p>\n

Having neglected trim on a detailed car takes away a tremendous amount of appeal. Trim is one of those areas where most<\/em> detailers will forget about or pay no attention to. So take some time on your next detail and attack those affected areas with Poorboy’s Trim Restorer and pair that with some UV protection and see the difference yourself. Your automobile will have that new look with some professional touch.<\/p>\n

Here is a half done plastic under spoiler that has never seen any attention. This area took 2 applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n
